I've wanted to review a Golden Age comic for some time. The problem comes in the fact that during the Golden Age, much of the language of comics, and the techniques that we take for granted were being formed. This was also before the rise of the Comics Code Authority, so creators were trying things … Continue reading Phantom Lady #13 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Avengers #215 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I always want to use this feature to highlight some really great comics that I remember from my childhood. We are fortunate to live in an age where so many great comics are available to read for a small fee. Of course, I paid for the annual subscription to Marvel Unlimited, which is no small … Continue reading Avengers #215 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Legion Lost #11 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I was at HeroesCon last weekend and got to sit in on a great panel discussion about the Legion of Super-Heroes with three artists that worked on the Legion, Joe Staton, Greg LaRocque and Keith Giffen. I got the opportunity to pose a brief question to the three of them. So, I asked, "Other than … Continue reading Legion Lost #11 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Proposition Player #5 – Reviews of Old Comics
I hadn't intended following up Pantheon #3 with another Bill Willingham comic. However, the rumors of Vertigo's demise got me thinking about a mini-series that came out just before Fables started. It was an idea that came out of Willingham's time as a poker player for a casino. Casinos have players that fill seats at … Continue reading Proposition Player #5 – Reviews of Old Comics
Pantheon #3 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I always strive to review old comics that you may not have thought about. Heck, you may not even know that they even exist. This is sometimes hard to do, especially in these days when some of the most obscure titles are available with a membership. Many creators got their start in unlikely places. Some … Continue reading Pantheon #3 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Flash #323 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I was at my local library when I spotted the Essentials collection of The Trial Of The Flash. I remember picking up a few issues of this story when it first came out, but never read the entire run from beginning to end. The whole thing goes on for quite a long period of time, … Continue reading Flash #323 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Tales Of The Legion #319 – Reviews Of Old Comics
It's time to get back to covering the Legion of Super-Heroes stories that hooked me in the 1980's. When last we left the Legion of this Era, Tales of the Legion was focusing on Shadow Lass and Mon-El returning to Talok VIII. There, they ran afoul of Lady Memory, the inheritor of a legacy of … Continue reading Tales Of The Legion #319 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Savage Dragon #75 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I was feeling guilty that I hadn't done an Independent comic in Reviews Of Old Comics. Among the new comic series that I regularly review, Savage Dragon sits on that list. It has evolved over the years, often taking a swift change in direction. One of the first was Dragon leaving the police to join … Continue reading Savage Dragon #75 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Uncanny X-Men #168 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I don't use my digital memberships for these articles as much as I should. In the past couple of weeks, I've been taking advantage of my DC Universe and Marvel Unlimited subscriptions. I have been on the lookout for issues to review here. It was the latest episode of the Legion of Substitute Heroes podcast … Continue reading Uncanny X-Men #168 – Reviews Of Old Comics
World Of Krypton #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
It's odd for me to get surprised by an old comic book. I tend to remember what comics were good, especially when it comes to legendary artists. I had completely forgotten that World of Krypton was drawn by Mike Mignola. Of course, this was a period in my life when I wasn't buying comics regularly. … Continue reading World Of Krypton #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
