The tag's Russell with a Jack in front of it....
"The tag's Russell, with a Jack in front of it; the kind of name that fits a normal 19 year old dude living out in LA..." I read (and re-read, and re-read) this series when I was a kid but when this was first recommended to me by Amazon my first reaction was that I was too old for this stuff: "I have grown children..." But another part of me, that part that never really grew up was excited to ...

"Who is the man that'd risk his neck for his brother-man?" (Has it already been used?)
One of the good aspects of Mr. Cage (and I don't mean Nicholas, of course!!!) is that he doesn't want to be a world-saving superhero; although he wears a rather flashy costume and, sometimes, goes toe-to-toe with superheavies like "Dr. Doom" (but, then again, who hasn't had a run-in with him in the "Marvel Kingdon?"), he makes it quite clear that he's only trying to make a living, and, if he has ...

What If? Classic Vol. 1 (Marvel Heroes)

Why Not?
I agree this should have been an Essentials offering. But it's a fun read never the less and it paved the way for stronger stories in later issues. As far as expectations maybe we are too jaded in this new century to appreciate what Roy Thomas and other's were doing. These stories shake the foundations of Marvel legend and take them to another place. I agree that they don't all work but the ones ...

More classic Invaders Please
Gotta' say, this second edition is just as much fun and just as much a blast from my past as the first. I've actually read several of the stories in this volume many times as the whole 'Battle of Berlin' is just an example of a great comic story line to me but it is great to finally have it in the more permanent paperback format. Thanks, Marvel. I understand the entire Invaders series will be ...

A Letter I Wrote To Marv Wolfman
To the writer of this era of Tomb of Dracula: Hi Marv, my name is Andy DiGelsomina and I have loved your writing since 1976 (well, that's when I discovered Tomb of Dracula!). I wanted to thank you; I never forgot the "Janus" saga, or your overall fascinating, anti-hero depiction of the Count (my favorite depiction, bar none). This might sound really strange, but I'm a huge fan of Mozart ...

Dracula, Marvel-style
Though it's a little more common nowadays, comic books that starred villains instead of heroes have always been something of a rarity. In the 1970s, Marvel gave it a shot with such books as Werewolf by Night and Supervillain Team Up, but the former wasn't so much a villain as a good-guy-turned-beast (not unlike the Hulk), and the latter - with a rather brief run - actually co-featured the ...

Captain America's Wild Ride In The 70's
This 4th Captain America Essential collection has it all. From Werewolves to President Nixon, Cap takes on all comers. This book also includes the Nomad saga and The Falcon is right by Cap's side throughout. I have always liked the artwork of Sal Buscema and he pulls out all the stops during this run. Lots of fun and a great buy for only $11.55.

A completely worthwile reprint from the '70s
It's no lie that writer Roy Thomas is a fan of the Golden Age of comics. He's proven it time and again on titles like All-Star Squadron, Infinity Incorporated, Alter Ego, and even in the Avenger's Kree-Skrull War. But these all pale when it comes to the Invaders, Thomas' ultimate tribute to the Marvel Comics heroes of the Forties. INVADERS CLASSIC VOLUME 1 collects Giant-Size Invaders #1, ...

Classic DC war comic
The war, horror and Western were genre staples of the DC Universe, as much as it was to the Marvel Universe..until DC Crisis and Marvel's Secret Wars. These titles died a small death, due to the growthg of superheroes. DC, in its WAR genre hayday, Sgt. Rock and his Easy Company (now in a color archieve book edition and a graphic novel "Between A Rock & A hard Place"), The Haunted Tank (also ...
