I miss those 100 pages issues they were even better than those 80 page giants that was printed later on.

Oh, it would have to include The Man-Thing. The proper one. The Gerber and Ploog one. In fact, it was this very one:
Astonishingly, a few months later I saw it rendered as a Power Records Book 'N Record, an uncannily prescient version of the concept of the Book on Tape.
To my amazement, they preserved the clown's suicide by gunshot.

I read this until the cover fell off, and then I read it until pages started falling out. at this point, I own probably 8 copies of it, as it's one I ALWAYS grab if i see it priced reasonably, and sit down immediately to read it. (yes, the Metal Men very often died in their stories -- it was the gimmick of the series) . . .but this one, with Tina sacrificing herself to save the day? That image of Doc cradling her severed head just GOT me.  I love the Metal Men but I've never read this one. Maybe I can find it for cheap. |

I'm planning on reviewing this very soon on the Batman fan thread. One of my favorite Catwoman stories. |

I hate to admit it, but this Super Friends treasury size book was very memorable to me.  |

I hate to admit it, but this Super Friends treasury size book was very memorable to me. I've bought that as an adult. There's a bunch of Alex Toth art in there and, well, he's the greatest American Comic Book artist ever. And the reprints were some of the stronger of the early Fox/Sekowsky stories. |

That image of Doc cradling her severed head just GOT me. I love the Metal Men but I've never read this one. Maybe I can find it for cheap. you've got to read it. . . can't believe you haven't! Doc has gone insane, and his brainwaves have been downloaded into the Plutonium man - they all sacrifice themselves to stop it, and the "death" of Tina is what shocks him back to sanity (sort of) -- (shorthand version of the story). . Steve Gerber wrote, with Walt Simonson on art! (with a Dick Giordano cover!)   |
