Cei-U!, yeah, the Big Two (and especially Lee and Schwartz) seem to keep getting all my money, and it's sort of a shame, because there are so many other interesting looking titles out there!

By thee way, I'd love to see a teamup between the Challengers of the Unknown and the Sea Devils.

Cei-U! We aims to please!

Oh man, I'm there! I've read a good chunk of Challengers, but I missed this one. |

In real life, I bought these in May 1965:
Avengers 18
Journey into Mystery 118
Strange Tales 135
Tales of Suspense 68
Tales to Astonish 70
X-Men 12
If I were there with $2, I'd buy them all again, and add these:
Adventure 334 (the Legion)
Spider-Man 27
Fantastic Four 41
Forbidden Worlds 129 (Magicman)
Green Lantern 38
Korak 9
Jungle Tales of Tarzan 4
Magnus Robot Fighter 11
Sarge Steel 4
Showcase 57 (Enemy Ace)
Total: 8 Marvel, 3 DC, 2 Gold Key, 2 Charlton and 1 ACG.
EDIT: my Marvel completist gene has kicked in; I'm going to forgo Magicman and pick up Sgt. Fury #20.

I already got it! And it’s not one of my favorite Joker stories. |

May 1965: I bought exactly none of the comics on sale that month. Don't ask me why. And I didn't even pick up SPORT magazine that month. I must have been flat broke. But here's what I would have bought: 80 Page Giant Magazine #12 (Batman) Of course! Adventure Comics #334 LEGION! All-American Men of War #110 If only to savor that cover again and again.  Blackhawk #210 Impaling a teammate with a drill? I'm in. Detective Comics #341 Love those three-panel covers. Metamorpho #1 I loved him in B and B! Chaotic craziness. Rip Hunter... Time Master #27 Terrible cover, but I always had a weak spot for the Rip Hunter series. Showcase #57 Cover of the month!  Tomahawk #99 See Rip Hunter entry. 79 cents to go. Sorry, but Willie Mays on the cover of SPORT comes before more comics:  Two Marvels comin' up... and it's a Nick Fury double-header! Sgt. Fury #20 and Strange Tales #135

You were probably grounded for speaking ill of classic comic artists. I think I predicted that someday Ernie Chua/Chan would one day draw the worst JLA covers ever. Here are three of many. I know, I know, the poor guy was overworked.    |
