Thanks. I was here for about a year under a different username until I deleted my account. Decided to try this again. Welcome back! |

Why'd you leave and what brought you back ? I don't want to open up a can of worms...so let's just say I didn't like how certain situations were "resolved" with a certain member which then caused said member to delete their account. I was friends with this person. I came back because I hope things will be better. |

People forget he was a soldier. I always liked the fact, though, that he was beyond needing a gun as an offensive weapon, which is why I've had more problems with the more casual use of guns with Cap, in more recent years (meaning Cap, not Bucky as Cap). One of my favorite (and short-lived) books at Eclipse was Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle's Strike, which featured a WW2 predecessor, Sgt Strike, which was essentially Cap if he carried a gun (a .50 cal machine gun!) and wasn't quite so noble. I enjoyed it so much I got a sketch of the character when I met Tom Lyle, when he had moved on to Starman. The book also had a fake history of the character, claiming it was an obscure Golden Age character, created by a cereal company that produced comics as premiums. Dixon had enough people believing it that he had to cop to the truth, as so many people were asking about where to find the original comics. They even "reprinted" some of the GA adventures of Sgt Strike, as well as a cloaked hero, The Rattler (a Shadow knockoff). I remember seeing the character but I don't think I have those issues. Now look what ya done ! Good little series, cut short way too soon, Don't forget the Airfighters Meet Sgt Strike (set in WW2) and Total Eclipse, which kind of wrapped up the dangling plot threads from the Strike & Sgt Strike Special. |

I've got Total Eclipse.
I'll pick up the rest as I find them.
I knew it was a Sgt Rock-type character but didn't know the detail until I read your post. Love it !

Choosing the best Mike Zeck cover is like picking your favourite child.  |

Glad my favourite has not been posted yet....best Punisher cover ever?  Maybe pre 1998. Nothing beats Timothy Bradstreet covers in my opinion. |

with the time change last weekend, it's not quite midnight Pacific here yet, but if you say so...
Phil Maurice
that was what I was leaning towards using before I decided to find a non-super-hero cover...
