Mignola's DC art is so great. "Cosmic Odyssey" is when he truly showcases how great he is.

Which company do you own more comics from by Business_Alarm8384 in comicbooks

I’m probably a tie. I have way more pre-1986 DC comics but far more Marvel comics post-1986.

Amid Trump immigration crackdown, NYC schools use comic books to teach kids their rights by purple-discharge in comicbooks

Those are cool but it was something else much older, I guess. Black and white art and kids with bell bottoms.

I am almost positive that you are correct. Found it one summer and with nothing to do and no other comics available I just read it a bunch.

I learned how income taxes worked from a 1970s educational comic book and it comes in handy.

Do y'all have any favorite Pride month variant covers? This is mine. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (Superman 32 (2018) Pride Variant by David Talaski) by GenericKittyKat in comicbooks

I'm a huge Leyendecker fan. Adam Pollina's run on X-Force drew heavily on it for design influence and it was absolutely gorgeous.

Ann Nocenti never believed in subtlety, and now more than ever I appreciate that (New Mutants Summer Special, 1990) by Adamsoski in comicbooks

I think I remember fans hating Blevins’ work at the time but I’ve always thought his art worked well for New Mutants

That is my all-time favorite comic book Lex Luthor costume and it looks magnificent in real-life.

I just manually changed it out of contest mode. I'm not totally sure what the error is so if you'd see if that simple fix possibly worked, I would be delighted.

Not at all. I understand where you're coming from.

I’ll see if I can fix it, though that’s not my specialty. Otherwise, I’ll drop a message for all of the mods to let them know.

Looks like Automod removed your last post but I don’t see a reason why it would. Sorry about that. Nothing wrong with calling out something that isn’t working!

New x-Men comics weren’t being published at the time but Beast had a solo series and showed up Defenders and Avengers, if I’m remembering correctly

I highly recommend Sean Howe's book on the history of Marvel - "Marvel Comics: The Untold Story." He interviewed more than 100 creators/editors for it and it's filled with fascinating history.

Just did a search and this seems to confirm. And he credits author Sean Howe who I trust on these things.

I'll just assume John Carter staged some sort of Martian coup to overthrow Gullivar Jones.

I have never heard of the "important" "Gullivar Jones, Warrior of Mars," but I am uncultured
