Topic: Comic titles you read as a kid/are STILL reading as adults! | |
---|---|
Personally, I want to get into Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and I have over a year to familiarize myself with the title and characters before the movie drops in August 2014, so I'm pumped!
My favorite title growing up was Amazing Spider-Man during the Mark Bagley years. Hulk, too, with anything written by peter david and drawn by Dale Keown. Before that, obviously there could be no one cooler than Superman and Batman back in the day. I remember reading Death of Superman for the first time when I was 14, an tearing up by the end, it was such a powerful moment for me. Glad they resurrected him, though, eventually, but then I found out that was the plan the whole time anyway, but it was kind of a shock to see that DC made international news with the decision to kill him and everyone thought "Oh my god, they cant DO THAT! WTF?!?" I love when a character is able to spark a personal connection to a reader, and I can only hope that my original writings do the same for anyone. Over to you guys! Have a ball! J! ![]() |

Unfortunately most of the comics I read as a kid stopped being published when I was a kid. Stuff like Eerie, Creepy Magazine, Vampirella have been brought back, just never got back into them.
I was never big on superhero comics, I read my fair share, and still have a ton I've collected from way back when, but none kept me interested enough to keep reading them when I got into my 20's. By then I was more interested in stuff like Sin City, Paul Chadwick's Concrete, Omaha The Cat Dancer... As a kid I was more interested in the horror comics like The Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves, House Of Mystery, House Of Secrets, Ghosts, Scary Tales, Ghostly Tales, Secrets of Haunted House, Weird Mystery Tales, The Witching Hour... I was into Archie Comics up until my late 20's, but where the previous comics kept things timeless, suddenly they were trying to update and modernize things. I tried reading one a couple of years ago, but seeing Archie walking around with a cell phone kind of killed things for me. |

Seen it, I have a small collection of Punisher comics and all of the movies full-length/shorts that they made. Now Batman...Batman I have a lot of stuff for, all movies, sitcoms, a grab of the comic books; I'm missing my Batsuit though. |
