I find the stock avatar on this site to be sufficiently creepy looking for my purposes! Yeah ... it's sort of like Charlie Brown as a Grey, with a bit of Impossible Man thrown in for leavening, along with a touch of the Easter Island heads. |

Glad to see you back Romero! I was wondering when you would show up.

Hello.
My name is Leo. I'm 29 years old and live just north of Boston, MA. I used to lurk on the old CBR classic comics forum, and just found out about this place. I'm glad to see the community is still going.
With the exception of a hiatus in the late 90s/early 00s, I've been reading comics since 1992. I'm mostly a fan of Bronze Age Marvel, but I also enjoy some DC, Vertigo, and Dark Horse comics. I know this is blasphemous for a classic comics fan to say, but I've never read most of the Silver Age classics like Lee/Kirby Spider-Man and Fantastic Four. I hope to remedy this soon. My favorite creators are George Perez, John Byrne, Chris Claremont, Bill Sienkiewicz, Roger Stern, Walt Simonson, and Peter David. My guilty pleasure is 90s X-Men comics (if I had an embarrassed emoticon I would use it here).
I hope I can contribute something to this forum.

Welcome to the forum leoh. There's plenty of Bronze Age chat to be had around here, so the lack of Silver Age knowledge won't be a problem.

I know this is blasphemous for a classic comics fan to say, but I've never read most of the Silver Age classics like Lee/Kirby Spider-Man and Fantastic Four. I'm in the same boat, and they let me run this place  Many of us are Bronze and Copper Agers here. No worries. In fact, many of your tastes line up pretty closely with my own. I really look forward to getting to know you better. Incidentally, I'm always curious -- how did you find out about the CCF? |

I was browsing the CBR forums when I noticed that a poster had something that said "The New Classic Comics Forum" followed by this address under their user name. I'm sorry to say I can't remember their name, but I thank them for pointing me in this direction. |

Like you, I haven't read much Silver Age. The little I've read is mostly Silver Age Superman stories, though I do have a couple Marvel silver age omnibi that are on my reading list (Avengers and Spidey). I'm more of a Bronze Age fan myself. And 90s X-Men weren't so bad. I quite enjoyed Generation X, at least for Bachalo and Lobdell's original run on the book. There's a few done-in-one stories around issue #300 of UXM written by Lobdell that are among my favorite X-Men stories. |

Welcome Leo ! We are an open and welcome community and there are no prerequisites other than an interest in Classic Comics at least 10 years old or older.
I don't think as many fans have read the Silver Age Marvels as some of us, and that's ok. I can't tell you how many people have said they didn't like Jack Kirby's work until later on in life.
No big deal.
What you list as your likes are awesome though. Not a one of them I dislike.
We all learn from each other, and it's fun.
