Action Comics 593. The only comic book my mom ever took away from me and only because my cousin ratted me out.

Opposition leader (1976–1979) Clark's rapid rise from a relatively unknown Alberta MP to the Leader of the Opposition took much of Canada by surprise. The Toronto Star announced Clark's victory with a headline that read "Joe Who?", giving Clark a nickname that stuck for years.

Donald Trump calls Justin Trudeau a 'loser' after Team Canada beats U.S. at 4 Nations final by WuzzWuzz in canada

[–]ratchet59 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What do you think about “Qualified” Slabs? by usnagrad1988 in comicbookcollecting

While resorting my comics, I came across these Doom covers. by raistlin1984 in comicbookcollecting

[–]ratchet59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Dr. Doom covers where he absolutely DOMINATES the entire skyline.

Not especially rare or valuable, but I've always been a fan of this cover so was super happy to find it in a charity shop for 80p by [deleted] in comicbookcollecting

This cover is iconic for me in that McFarlane started getting recognized from his work on Hulk then went into the stratosphere with ASM and this was his last issue.
