The Comic Book Thread

This was complete reprinting of the original comic for Marvel's 70th Anniversary; on modern-glossy paper along with that gorgeous redone cover. Read it today along with a few other comics.
What I found to be surprising, especially considering the original printing was in 1939, was the amount of violence. Human Torch and The Angel both killed their foes. And Sub-Mariner was a straight villain in his first appearance here, spurred on by his mother. By the end of the story he vowed vengeance against the human race.
Regardless both the Human Torch and Sub-Mariner stories I found to be enjoyable, even if the dialogue was a bit dated. The Angel story was pretty run-of-mill gangster-crime story stuff, though.
There was also the first appearance of Ka-Zar, another uninspired jungle-adventure type story, a masked-cowboy story, and a text-only story about racing that I didn't bother to read. None of those really stood out to me, though.

My wife bought me some comics. I'm sitting here reading a Jurassic Park book. Damn, this could turn into a bad habit. This book is fun. Devils in the Desert is the name. If you see it cheap, I'd say check it out.

Don't get me wrong, he's a good actor, but why not get someone who ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE DOCTOR STRANGE.

I mainly tend to collect TPBs since they're easier to display and store, but occasionally my local game store has a few interesting 1-issue comics there and they're 99p each so I do now have a relatively sizeable collection of Star Wars Droids comics :P
