I’m excited that the last third of the book is dedicated to Wally Wood Westerns and romance stories from the early years at EC. I remarked a few days ago that I’m not always the biggest fan of humor comics. I did breeze through the book to this point. But this… will have my full attention.

Raymond showing how it’s done!

Drop something from the 1980s.

Red Sox/Yanks and the latest volume in the EC Comics Library. About to be a solid evening.

Now playing - White Horse by Laid Back (1983).

Marvel Team-Up 40 (1975). For a kid who had a fever for action, this was more cowbell! Sal Buscema covered it, and he, Bill Mantlo, Mike Esposito, and Dave Hunt did the innards.

Proofreading today. Over and over before the document I’ve been working on gets uploaded to the World Wide Web.

I was today years old when I learned Nazareth’s 1975 hit “Love Hurts” is a cover of an Everly Brothers’ 1960 hit.

Now playing - What Becomes of the Broken Hearted by Jimmy Ruffin.

Ron Wilson and Frank Giacoia covered Defenders 28 (1975). Nine-year old Doug was wide-eyed and into these Guardians of the Galaxy.

Adventure Comics 435 (1974) - Aquaman feature The unmistakable figure work of Mike Grell, presented as published on newsprint, and cleaned up for the “Death of a Prince” trade paperback.

What is the first comic you remember owning? Me - Gold Key's Walt Disney Comics Digest 32 (1971). I would have recently turned 5, and was a huge fan of Sunday night’s “The Wonderful World of Disney”. Read this one until it fell apart! Cover art by Tony Strobl.

Colossal Boy gets some star time, in these vignettes from Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes 231 (1977). Your guides were Paul Levitz, James Sherman, and Jack Abel.

The volumes in the EC Comics Library dedicated to the work of Jack Kamen. Marie Severin said no one could draw eyes on a lady like Jack Kamen. I think she was onto something…

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost with a dance or get eliminated.

I’ve been told Dark Horse will be reprinting Marvel’s B&W magazine, Vampire Tales. The first volume, covering 1973-74, ships in August. But, does anyone have these manga-sized tpbs?

Jiminy Christmas… right outa the gate! Illustration by Ernie Chan. And how!

Moving to the reading queue! All paper this time, and all recent acquisitions. Full disclosure: I may do a little skim & scan on the EC Comics Library volume. While the pictures will be 100% pretty, I’m not the biggest humor fan. And I definitely don’t know if I’ll get some of the mid-50s topics.

Monsters Unleashed, from Marvel’s Curtis Magazines line of B&W awesomeness. First four issues (1973) were covered by… 1. Gray Morrow 2. Boris Vallejo 3. Neal Adams 4. Albert Pujolar
