Busiek and Perez were really starting to cook at this point. They had returned The Avengers into being a top quality, must read comic which it hadn't been for a long time.

That's a great poster. I went to see the film at the cinema as a kid, but I'm pretty sure we had a different poster here in the UK as I don't remember it either.

This and Batman Year One are my favourite works by Miller. Ironic as he didn't draw either of them, but he had fantastic collaborators.

It's a classic.

Ah I never got that one. I did get the '76 Avengers Annual though. 🙂

Yes, they were very common. Shelves filled with those huge glass jars of sweets. 😊 All gone now.

I hated Ms. Afro as a character for years. To me Starlin's Mar-Vell was *the* definitive Captain Marvel in the Marvel Universe. So when they gave his name to a(imo) generic new hero straight after he died, I found it really disrespectful to the Kree capt. Really pi**ed me off. I wasn't at all happy.

Finally. It's so rare that a large company or corporation will "right a wrong" for a positive reason or when they don't have to have to, so kudos to DC for finally letting this see print Especially as Rick Veitch said, to editorial, @mariejavins.bsky.social & Alex Galer for pushing it over the line.

My longtime (near lifelong) pal Rick Veitch announced this earlier today, OK for me to share now, here, with you.

It's real. It's happening. At long last.

Good to hear you enjoyed it.

Such a great scene, one of so many during Alan Moore's iconic Swamp Thing stint. One of the all time great comic runs.

Raz Shah 🇵🇸 🏏 @razs.bsky.social · 2d

The production design (as in the rest of the film), music, costumes etc in that scene are so good. Plus Beau Garett, what a babe !

Raz Shah 🇵🇸 🏏 @razs.bsky.social · 2d

Magneto in full on perv mode mode on that splash page ! 😄🙈🙈 Obviously didn't know Wanda was his daughter at this point! 😬

Classic silver age Supes! Such a great story that I read and reread many times as it was reprinted in this great 100 pager which is one of the 1st ever comics kid me bought off the spinner rack 😊 I got it from my favourite corner shop at the time, a tobacconist/sweetshop very near where I lived.

Yup. Such a fantastic soundtrack by them.

The Sirens. Love that scene 😁

Fantastic that we will *finally* get to read the finale to Veitch's epic time travel storyline.

Yes love NIN and Trent. Been to see them in concert a couple of times in the UK. I guess I will have to satisfy myself with listening to the soundtrack for now and watching Legacy again. Wishing you a positive experience!

I loved Omac! So many ground breaking ideas from Jack in that series! Omac and Kamandi were the 1st time kid me was able to buy Kirby comics as they were released new on the spinner rack as opposed to as back issues. The image on the cover of #1 fascinated and freaked me out as a kid. Brilliant!

Raz Shah 🇵🇸 🏏 @razs.bsky.social · 3d

Totally! Kid me was so disappointed, especially the way we were left hanging with that cliff hunger ending.

Iconic cover to one the all-time great super hero comics. Read it over and over on release.

I never even knew this existed! I only saw the normal stand up arcade machine.
