Ignatz said:Well, I probably shouldn't have voted since I haven't followed the comics for several decades. But when I was reading them back in the 1960's, Marvel was just coming into its own and DC's line already looked like museum pieces by contrast. The imagination, the artwork, the witty and profound dialogue, the complex storylines...Marvel had it all over DC. My favorite mag was The Fantastic Four which I discovered with Issue#5, the first appearance of Doctor Doom. A close second was Thor, followed by Spiderman, Sgt. Fury, and the Rawhide Kid. (Don't get me started on what they did to the Kid recently!) Never got into the X-Men much for some reason. Didn't care much for Iron Man or Daredevil. Doctor Strange had his moments.
When I first became aware of the price, a regular monthly issue was 12 cents. Annuals were a quarter. I think Classics Illustrated, which I loved, was 15 cents an issue. (I had Moby Dick, War of the Worlds, Mutiny on the Bounty, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.) )osco89 said:Boy did you bring back memmories. I loved all those when I was a kid.
A new comic book, a bottle of orange Crush on a hot summers day. Do you remember when comic books were a dime and were thicker than one too?

I wasn't an Orange Crush man, myself. I favored a brew called Delaware Punch. Don't know if they even make it anymore. Haven't seen it around in decades.
