Don't know how I missed this first time around. This was indeed the Classic Comics Christmas theme back in 2010. My preferences are unchanged. 1. Pogo 2. Calvin & Hobbes 3. Thimble Theatre [Popeye] 4. Mickey Mouse (the '30s version by Gottfredsen) 5. The Far Side The others were: 6. Peanuts 7. Batman (the '40s Sunday page ghosted by Jack Burnley) 8. The Cisco Kid 9. Little Orphan Annie 10. Polly and Her Pals 11. Hagar the Horrible (for nostalgic rather than qualitative reasons) 12. Steve Roper and Mike Nomad (ditto) Cei-U! I summon the deja vu! Do you still have all the results for the old CBR Classic Comics Christmases, Kurt? I'd love to see what my picks were for each year (I don't think I took part in the first two because I hadn't found the forum yet). It's such a shame that all that stuff was lost in the great CBR apocalypse of 2014. If you have indeed still got the results saved somewhere and as long as it isn't too much trouble, would you mind PM'ing them to me on here or Facebook. Thanks. |

Sorry, Paul, all I have are my own lists from 2008-present. Cei-U! I summon the data gap! |

Axa was a really cool comic. I remember this one from waaaaay back, and seems like it's pretty obscure nowadays. I remember one issue where she was stuck in a wilderness and had to fight giant insects. My overriding memory of Axa was that it seemed like forbidden naughtiness to me as a kid. It was printed in The Sun, right? I was only a young lad at the time, but my grandparents used to buy The Sun newspaper and I remember sneakily looking through it for exciting glimpses of nudity in the Axa strip and also in George & Lynne (did Lynne even own any clothes?!). Plus, you had the daily Page 3 girl, of course.  Ahhh, Halcyon days! Hahaha, same here. This is probably why Axa stands out among a myriad random comics I waded through as a young kid. The ones I remember were actual comic strips (not newspaper), but this would be Bosnia, circa 1995.... Ahh, halcyon days |

Axa actually made it over to the US, via Eclipse Comics and Ken Pierce Editions (who also reprinted some of Modesty Blaise, including the Jim Holdaway strips).
