I thought the paper, color, and reproduction were top-notch, and the second Strange, with that long Eternity serial, was just beautiful.Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809592629762693427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-57323805184193615672014-09-02T16:07:31.827-04:002014-09-02T16:07:31.827-04:00I still have mine!

They remind me of a time when American comics were so scarce in the UK that tracking them done was a big part of the joy of collecting.<br /><br />The same went for music as you had to search long and hard to rack down LPs!Simaylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861115402841654930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-19652071975275219982014-09-02T08:19:41.401-04:002014-09-02T08:19:41.401-04:00I bought the first Dr. Strange one in December 197...I bought the first Dr. Strange one in December 1978 (I can't remember the British price) and I loved all those early Lee/Ditko stories that I'd never read before - each story told in about seven pages. I'd completely forgotten about the FF one but I had that too. Marvel also reprinted their adaptation of Star Wars in this pocket-book form but that was only in black and white as I remember.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-78843228945641538252014-09-02T05:27:34.275-04:002014-09-02T05:27:34.275-04:00Spider-Woman had an animated series on the air at ...Spider-Woman had an animated series on the air at the time, so it wasn't just "suprising confidence" in the character, it was cross-promotion!<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSXjBkIIvosBritt Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245579677452948620noreply@blogger.com
