I Bought That Comic 🌈さんのイラストまとめ

Happy birthday to the wonderful @GailSimone, an incredibly gifted writer (BIRDS OF PREY, WONDER WOMAN, BATGIRL, SIMPSONS and so much more), but she's also a much-needed conscience for the industry. And a great tweeter! Have a fantastic day, Gail!

Master filmmaker Stanley Kubrick was born OTD in 1928.

As best I can determine, these are the first issues I purchased of what were my four favorite comic titles, all bought when I was 4-6. I tried to never miss an issue of these.

What "cartoon" title got you into comics?

So yeah, 50 years ago today was a pretty great day for Marvel at the newsstand!

7/25/72: Marvel relaunches JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY as a horror title (sister book: CHAMBER OF CHILLS) with an eye to classic adaptations and some great original material, but - pro forma - it soon becomes all reprint. This issue also includes the freaky Englehart/Reese "House."

7/25/72: DOC SAVAGE #1 launched a brief period of pulp hero revival in comics (Shadow, Avenger), and after a mere 8 issues it would become a B&W mag. Ross Andru drew a combo of a younger Doc but with James Bama's skullcap hair. Future issues were more blatantly 30s period pieces.

@DarrellEpp @montewilliams @GoldenAgeNerd @GregRozeboom @Lord_Azoth @FrankiePaul64 @wizecrax @DeevElliott @skeezix161 Some 18 years ago I had the opportunity to buy the original art for TZ #35, but I had just moved to Chicago and couldn't come up with the $1500 asking price. Regret it to this day.

@RoryReilly63 You can buy it. I bought it for $4.99 on sale earlier.

Writer Cyril M. Kornbluth was born OTD in 1923. Sometimes working in collaboration with his friend Frederik Pohl, he wrote such SF classics as THE SPACE MERCHANTS and "The Marching Morons." Acknowledged to be an eccentric genius, he died of a heart attack at only 34.
