5. Judgement On GothamBatman and Judge Dredd For the Biz man, for the Biz. I bought this about a year ago. Still haven't read it. Edit: I gave it away so I guess I won't get to read it. |

Random thoughts on Day 8. Because I have some time again.
DC Comics Presents #33. Just take a look at my Day Two.
Brave & Bold # 98. I haven't read this in a long long time. I remember it being normal B&B goodness.
Showcase #101, 102, 103. I don't think I've read these. I wasn't a fan of Hawkman at the time they came out.
Swamp Thing #27 & 53. Again, I could easily have done a list of just Swamp Thing team-ups.
Batman/Houdini: The Devil's Workshop. I have this and I generally remember liking it, though I haven't read it in probably 20 years.
Magnus: Robot Fighter #5-8. I've never read a Valiant comic.
Batman Vs. Predator #1-3. I think I have this. But I don't remember it 25 years on.
Comic Relief Comic one-shot. You wacky Brits. This is cool.
Batman/Captain America. This was one of the last books to fall off my list. I mostly hate intercompany books. This is one of the exceptions. It's a really fun book.
DC Comics Presents #85. Have we seen this one before? I can't remember. Not even Alan Moore can make Superman interesting.
The Brave and the Bold 84. I've read this. And I vaguely remember it. This is the sort of thing that made B&B great.
Micronauts #26-29. I've not read any Micronauts. I just never bought toy funnybooks.
Daredevil #12, 13. Have we seen this one before? Seems like we have. I've read it but don't really remember it.
Nexus 5-8. Man...I didn't think of this. I love me some Nexus. Badger...not so much.
The Atom #7. I'm pretty sure that I read this. But Silver Age DC just flows off into the ether for me.
Judgement On Gotham. I know I've read this. But I got nothin'. It just evaporated in my mind.

5. Wonder Woman and SupergirlWonder Woman #177 (DC, 1968) There'd just been an editorial switch, so #177 was Jack Miller's first as WW as editor instead of Robert Kanigher. And frankly, this issue came off as nothing more than filler. The Bill Finger story was formulaic, the usual two-heroes-forced-to-fight-one-another-or -the-world-will-perish. And instead of the Andru-Esposito team, or then-WW regular artist Irv Novick, the art is by Win Mortimer and Jack Abel (later on they'd do some of the Supergirl stories when she moved over to Adventure). This story seemed to exist in a vacuum, with no mention of her life as Diana Prince, or her military job, or Steve Trevor. An inventory story, a placeholder (until Sekowsky steps in, which he does with the next issue). But despite all that, Wonder Woman #177 is a favorite of mine because it was one of a trio of DCs on sale in April-May 1968 that spotlighted female protagonist team-ups (a rarity back then, or at least for the DCs and Marvels I was then reading). Within a two-week period there was Wonder Woman and Batgirl in Brave and Bold #78 (along with Batman of course); then Batgirl and Supergirl in World's Finest #176 (along with Superman, Batman, Robin and Jimmy Olsen); and finally, Supergirl and Wonder Woman in WW #177.  The B&B Haney story was just inane (no surprise); and while the WF story had Adams art in its favor, story-wise Batgirl and Supergirl were made out to be unsuspecting dupes. At least in the WW story, WW and Supergirl were shown to be resourceful and powerful on their own--no help required from Batman, or Superman, or Robin, or Jimmy Olsen(!). Plus there is that great Novick cover.

5. Spider-Man/Daredevil/Punisher Ultimate Marvel Team-Up 6-8 Marvel, Sept-Nov. 2001  So I care deeply about team-up books. I have read all but one issue of every Marvel "Team-Up" book, including every issue and annual from all three series, every issue of Super-Vilain Team-Up, Western Team-Up, Spider-Man Family, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man Team-Up... and so on. This is the best of them. It's a tense, dark, crime story about morality and personal freedom, with a Punisher who's lost the sheen of familiarity and basically humanity... And it's got quite a few genuinely funny quips 'n one liners. And Seinciwicz just draws the hell out of it. I mean, Bill S. is my favorite superhero artist anyway, and here he's doing stuff with shading, negative space, extremely subtle pacing through both time and space, mood and texture that exceeds anything he did back in his '80s superhero heyday. Yeah, just an amazing comic - and indication there's going to be a lot of DC on the upcoming list... |

Plus there is that great Novick cover. This and one other WW issue around this time were among some of the earliest comics I remember reading. I recall liking the idea of the character but the comics themselves never caught my imagination the way the Marvel comics at the time did and I don't think I ever bought another issue. I still remember a few isolated images and scenes from those two WW though. |
