Once again, all my money goes to either Marvel titles or Julius Schwartz-edited DC books. To wit:
Amazing Spider-Man #38 Atom #25
Avengers #29 Batman #181
Daredevil #17 Fantastic Four #52 Flash #162 Green Lantern #45 Hawkman #14
Justice League of America #45 Sgt. Fury #31 Strange Tales #146 Tales of Suspense #79 Tales to Astonish #81 Thor #129 X-Men #21
...all at 12 cents each, leaving 8 cents which, combined with the 4 cents remaining from last month, gives me just enough to buy
Detective Comics #362
Pardon me while I shed a tear over not being able to afford Brave and the Bold #66, Doom Patrol #104, and/or Thunder Agents #5.
Cei-U! I summon the hankie!

Amazing Spider-Man #38 Avengers #29 Daredevil #17 (Spider-Man guest stars, though this story was kinda dumb if I remember correctly) Fantastic Four #52 (another Lee/Kirby classic) Tales of Suspense #79 (Iron Man vs. Namor! 'nuff said!) Thor #129 (Hercules guest stars!) X-Men #21 Adventure Comics #345 (Legion of Super-Heroes!) Brave and the Bold #66 Challengers of the Unknown #50 Detective Comics #352 Doom Patrol #104 Flash #162 Justice League of America #45 Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #93 And I'll go out of left field (for me) with my last choice...Adventures of Bob Hope #99. I've never picked up a copy, either for real or in this game, but what the heck, I need some humor so I'll give it a shot. So I have to leave out Strange Tales #146, Tales of Suspense #79, Atom #25, and several other goodies. Not to mention the non Big Two stuff out there.  |

That is a tough choice there, with a Metamorpho/Metal Men team-up and Elasti-Girl marrying Mento in the mix, but hey, Detective Comics has an Elongated Man backup, so you can't go wrong there! |

I smoked a pipe regularly for years (only on rare occasions now), and I never experienced an increase in my sophistication. I must have missed out on that particular benefit trope! These days, I rarely smoke, though I still have over 80 different pipes, and a chest full of various tobacco blends. About the only time I light up now is outdoors on occasional nice Summer evenings and Autumn days.

My father used to occasionally smoke a pipe (when he was in a sophisticated mood?) and occasionally a cigar (when he was in a Kirby mood?) but his second wife made him quit. I never noticed him being particularly sophisticated either, though. |

Except in the Marvel Universe! You put glasses on a beautiful woman so everybody thinks she’s EVIL! I’m thinking of Irma Kruhl! You can tell she’s EVIL because of her glasses! |
