That Captain America never gives up despite not being the most powerful person.  |

The artwork, the stories, everything Marvel from 1963 to 1983, Gil Kane, the smell of an old comic.

Things I love about comics...
Classic DC covers where they were goofy, but clever and interesting and brilliantly illustrated.

...the oddities and schemes of the bad guys and the inventiveness and purity of the heroes; Golden Age Superman with his squinty eyes and wolfish grin; Adam West, Captain Marvel, and their baby The Tick; Jimmy Olsen being more terrified of arriving late for work or a date than of the fact that he's just been turned into a bug; that Bat-Hound has a secret identity; locked room mysteries; giant props and bottled cities; that I recently read a comic about a superhero who gets his powers from a garden gnome and that was just the first page...

I've always loved the history and world-building aspects of what became the Marvel Universe. Warts and all. It's fascinating watching a shared universe develop with no real plan and later creators trying to make it all fit together in things like The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe.

I love the work of people who want to, love to, have to tell stories with pictures. Folks like Kirby, Ditko, Toth, Stanley, Barks, Crumb, Hernandez (x2), etc.... Folks who couldn't do what they do as prose writers or illustrators.
On the industrial side of the business, I loved comics as a cheap, portable medium.

The simple, moral strength of Jonathan Kent, passed on to his adopted son. The fact that Batman's crusade isn't to find revenge for his parents, but to prevent anyone else from going through the same trauma. That Captain Marvel fought the goofiest bunch of villains ever and was one of the best comics because of it. I love that the ever-cynical and opportunistic J Jonah Jameson recognized a true hero when he saw him, in Superman. I love the secret club atmosphere of the Legion stories, before the drama overwhelmed them (not that it was bad). I love the little companies who tried something different, while the big guys did the same old, same old. I love that a Deadman Christmas story makes me cry every time I read it.  I love that there is a place for Watchmen and Bone. I love a company, like Caliber, that would publish a heart-rendering, grief-stricken book like The Crow, and yet would still think that a comic about and rambunctious little girl would be cool, publishing Patty Cake; or that a samurai shar-pei is a pretty cool idea.  |
