I loved it all but the posts I really want to reread and be link to are your great history of Ira Schnapp. The blog had many other fun and memorable moments, that was just a standout .<br />Hope all is well,<br />StevenStevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02095975112926228289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453825259240949713.post-69631847436179817942019-08-10T11:12:48.629-07:002019-08-10T11:12:48.629-07:00Robby (K.K.), Thanks for creating one of the best ...Robby (K.K.), Thanks for creating one of the best comic book blogs in the history of the medium; I was never a fan of most of the King's DC work (his dialogue was just too melodramatic), but I liked Kamandi, probably because, as we were both young lads, I somewhat identified with him. My oldest brother sometimes brought home the occasional Fantastic Four Lee/Kirby reprints, and I thought (and still do) that they were terrific, so much so that I bought all of the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four (I prefer Marvel's super-groups to their solo heroes) early Essentials and still drag them out for an occasional re-reading, even though I'm primarily a Silver Age DC fan. <br />Thanks again for your blog.wordsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440378700782807683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453825259240949713.post-34107588691051619022018-07-08T02:37:12.978-07:002018-07-08T02:37:12.978-07:00No, I wasn't talking about a significance that...No, I wasn't talking about a significance that others don't see, I was referring to a significance that just isn't there.

I always figured that people were talking about the Third World in the 1970s. The First World was NATO countries, the Second World was the Soviet Bloc and the Third World was the developing countries. So I figured that the term Fourth Word referred to the regions beyond the scope of Earth.<br />Or then again, maybe some smart-alek production editor just stuck it on the covers because it sounded good ...<br />Alan<br />http://MarvelSilverAge.blogspot.co.uk/AirPiratePresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136561512898563240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453825259240949713.post-55278045006675778222013-02-04T05:48:28.515-08:002013-02-04T05:48:28.515-08:00I intended to compose

It goes without saying that this is among the finest blogs ever to see publication, but the Kirby history takes the cake! This is the kind of passion that represents the BEST in comic book fans-- whatever the depths of our criticisms, the world can take this as evidence that we have as much capacity for APPRECIATION!<br /><br />Kirby was the greatest, and even those readers who don't know him are constantly bombarded by images inspired by his work. His contribution to comics is completely indelible.<br /><br />Oh, and seeing Mr. Miracle zoom by actually did blow my mind! That's the kind of thing I'll be thinking of while we await future updates! Hey, I know you'll be back, Robbie. The greats never really disappear. ;)<br /><br />--Bombastic AshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453825259240949713.post-14309970273377538632012-07-05T13:26:28.418-07:002012-07-05T13:26:28.418-07:00I still dig Jack Kirby's comics!
