wildfire2099 , tartanphantom -I saw on the Internet that Taylor Swift is rumored to be the Blonde phantom Introduced in the Byrne She Hulk run.  Now maybe I can continue to chase the Dazzler run.

that seems less likely, but maybe it'll help Dazzler prices. It'll all be clear soon The question is... do you feel lucky? |

This is actually like that book. It details what was happening inside DC as well.

I didn’t find anything in it that I didn’t already know and the author seemed to really hate comics fans. His little snarky remarks about things like conventions giving comic book readers a chance to get out of their parents basement was incredibly annoying. It was low-hanging fruit when SNL& Shatner did it. But that was comedy not a supposedly historical book. |

Some of the EIC made Shooter look like a loving uncle. |

Mail call. 2 separate auction wins results in my completing the 25 issue Simonson Orion run. I only needed 10, 13, 19 , but it was cheaper to buy the lot.  The Final issue.  |

Nice job. Believe it or not, I do NOT have this series, despite having all the other post-Kirby Fourth World titles. (New Gods/Kirby's FW, Mr Miracle, etc)

As someone who wasn't particularly keen on the New Gods (outside of Mr Miracle and Forever People), how well does Simonson do with Orion? Is it anything like his Thor run? |

Sorry to join this thread with a bit of a negative review, but the most recent classic comic I've read is Nightwing: Alfred's Return No.1 by Alan Grant and Dick Giordano.  I picked this up for a quid in my local oxfam due to Grant's writing credit, but if I didn't know he was Scottish I'd have presumed this was written by someone who had never visited these shores as it's filled with so many cliches. The story is amusing enough I guess, as Alfred has quit Gotham after believing that Bats was going to end up killing himself chasing after some villain, and ends up stalking an ex-girlfriend and foiling a plan to destroy the newly built Channel Tunnel, but Alfred comes across as fairly thick in it. Not intentionally, either, but he falls for the ex-girlfriend's lies in a very daft manner, and a lot of the dialogue is clumsy in general. A shame as I remember liking Grant's run on Detective Comics in the 80s / early 90s, but he was clearly on auto-pilot here. 2/5 |

This is incorrect.
All you need is a Destroyer Duck #7, because I have an extra #6 that I'm dropping in the mail to you this Friday.
PM me with your mailing address-- I've got it around here somewhere, but I have no idea where. And this time, I'll add it to your profile in my phone book so that I don't lose it again!
