Same here. Those mags were amazing. Dark Horse relaunched Eerie, but the magic simply isn't there.    Posted:   Jul 10, 2014 - 3:34 PM     By:   Gary S.   (Member) Warren had Frazetta covers at times and had top notch interior art as well.    Posted:   Jul 10, 2014 - 5:23 PM     By:   drop_forge   (Member) Warren had Frazetta covers at times and had top notch interior art as well. Covers by all the greats: Frazetta, Sanjulian, Corben, Enrich, Wood, Maroto, Larkin, Fastner/Larson...all the awesome painters. And yes, the interiors were typically mouthwatering.    Posted:   Jul 12, 2014 - 3:49 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) The actual American comics that I encountered in my youth - say, up to the age of about 10 or 11 - were overwhelmingly DC. I liked Flash, Batman, the JLA in particular. However, in the same period my exposure to Marvel was by way of (as my memory tells me) more traditional English comics with a Marvel tilt, with several characters in each comic, but shorter stories and a variety of formats. They used to have a full page picture at the back with a hero or villain, which I'd tear out and tape to my door or wall. Preferred the Fantastic Four to X-Men. Liked Thor and Spiderman but not so much Iron Man or Hulk. At the age of 10 or 11 I discovered other things, notably football and girls, and left all the above behind - until Tim Burton's Batman raised its cowled head and re-kindled a vague interest. I've probably seen most superhero films since then and enjoy DC and Marvel in equal proportions. It still sits well behind football and girls, though. TG    Posted:   Jul 12, 2014 - 5:54 AM     By:   Timmer   (Member) What you're referring to TG, is The Mighty World of Marvel which had Hulk as its main star with The Fantastic Four taking up the back half of the comic and Spiderman featuring The Mighty Thor. These were reprints of the American originals printed on larger paper and often in black & white with occasional shades of green or red with a few pages that would be in full colour. I liked the pin-ups that were in black & white so I could colour it myself and stick it on my bedroom wall. Until the advent of specialist comic shops buying the original American comics ( usually from a Newsagent ) was a bit of a lottery, you'd read, say, a copy of Spiderman with a cliffhanger ending and there was no guarantee you'd find the follow-up comic the following Month.    Posted:   Jul 12, 2014 - 9:56 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) What you're referring to TG, is The Mighty World of Marvel which had Hulk as its main star with The Fantastic Four taking up the back half of the comic and Spiderman featuring The Mighty Thor.

Interesting, Timmer, thanks for that reminder and I dare say you're right. But... ...football and girls.    Posted:   Jul 12, 2014 - 11:43 AM     By:   Timmer   (Member) Shit man, you've actually kissed a real life girl?    Posted:   Mar 18, 2017 - 1:24 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Of course we now know that football is infinitely more childish and corrupt than comic books ever were--and far less dangerous, too. In fact, comics had the United States Senate terrified: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_Subcommittee_on_Juvenile_Delinquency By comparison, football and its hooligans are gentle, loving souls. I thought this topic was started long before 2014; how time doesn't fly.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Marvel or DC?    << < 1 2 3  >   Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
