The 3 released so far have all been well worth the purchase. Side note: I always thought the so-called "origin" of Toro was one of the most illogical of the ton of illogical stories to come out of the Golden Age. Toro can burst into flame because...well...because we say he can. BTW I seem to remember the Toro story looking better, reproduction-wise, when it was reprinted during the Silver age in Fantasy Masterpieces. However, my copy is packed away in a long box. Anybody know with quick access to a copy up for a comparison? The line work in the version in the Torch Special looked awfully bad.

I'd love to see a Red Skull 70th Anniversary Special, with reprints of Captain America Comics #7 and Captain America's Weird Tales #74, plus a new story by J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck!

Their fictionalized adventures thrilled readers on the Home Front throughout World War II, but their real story has never been told -- until now! Discover the truth behind comics' original kid gang! Action! Intrigue! Adventure! All in a timely tale by Roger Stern (Amazing Spider-Man) and Paolo Rivera (Mythos). And in a bonus back-up, take another trip to the Golden Age with a classic reprint from the Timely Era! 48 PGS./New and Reprints/Rated A ...$3.99 (Oh, and I have a new story in CAP #600, as well.) -- Uncle Rog Looking forward to these. You didn't happen to pitch a story for a Red Raven 70th Anniversary book did you? That's about the only early book they haven't promised in this series. For sales purposes, (since most of Red's early fans are, well, dead) it'd have to have a couple of guest stars prominently featured in the story and on the cover -- much like the Young Allies book has Captain America. I'd nominate Cap and Sub-Mariner. Heck, they could even tie Cap's origin into the story. I, for one, never believed that "Professor Reinstein" developed that super soldier formula by himself. The Avians gave it to him. Back to the Young Allies book, were there any editorial comments/suggestions about how to handle "Whitewash" issue of previous stereotyping? You'll learn the true identities of the Young Allies in this issue. (Their names and appearances were changed in the Timely Comics of the 40s for reasons of "national security.") And two Captains America appear in the story. I don't know anything about any Red Raven book. I was asked only to come up with a story for the Allies. By the way, here's what the Variant Cover looks like... On sale in just three short weeks now! tic-tic-tic! -- Uncle Rog Have you checked out Roger Stern's Back List?

"Uncle Rog" Sigh... that's been the company line for 69 years now. Wouldn't hurt to propose one, with an emphasis on the cover featured guest stars you'd include (Cap and Human Torch, maybe Subbie -heck- Wolverine - anyone to make the project viable). Wouldn't you want the fame of being the second writer to do an issue of Red Raven Comics? What can they do, laugh you out of the office? Blackball you from the industry? Seriously, very much looking forward to the Young Allies. It's great to know "Whitewash" wasn't a real name. A. Leedom

Posts: 1028 (05/29/09 9:53 AM) Silver Age Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	The Marvel Comics #1 70th Anniversary Edition... is this a quasi-remake of the 1939 Marvel Comics #1 with the art re-drawn by modern artists (as I first thought it to be), or is it a straight reprint of the original 1939 art with new 2009 coloring, as a re-reading of the description is leading me to believe? Either way, I'm looking forward to this. It'll be nice to have a reasonably priced stand-alone version of Marvel Comics #1 for once (I'm thinking about the hardcover reprint from 1990 or thereabouts, which I believe cost $20.00 back then, or $32.63 in 2009 dollars).

Okay... as I said earlier, I'm looking forward to it. However, would I be correct in guessing the new 2009 coloring will not appear in the Omnibus reprint as well as any prospective later printings of the Volume 1 Masterwork?

I guess I'll have to flip through it at the shop to see if I really need to re-read this again with just new coloring. curious and/or thrifty

I looking at the cover and wondering just how much publicity they'd have gotten if they'd drawn Whitewash (on the cover only) in the forties style. A lesser company might have done so just to hype interest/sales. They'd apologize, of course, and replace the cover in the next printing... Or maybe the 20th Anniversary of the infamous Fleer Billy Ripken baseball card is just influencing my (sick, SICK) mind.

A good variety of interviews on various topics and two Golden Ages stories reprinted as well! The Sub-mariner and Captain America stories both made me want to get more golden ages stories. I had first dismissed them because of the odd artwork, but I found the stories compelling and engaging. The magazine itself is much better than what Wizard puts outs and makes me miss mags like Comics Scene and Amazing Hereoe (though Back Issue is pretty great).
