I read whatever I could get my hands on from the 2 local newsstands in my neighborhood that carried comics. Sad Sack, Casper, Bugs Bunny, Batman, et al.<br /><br />In the late 70's, I gravitated more toward the superhero fare I've always cherished. However, it wasn't until the post-Crisis era of the late 80's that I finally cut loose and started finding my way into letters pages.<br /><br />Let's remember, too, that a number of comics pros have also started in the letter pages, like, for example, Martin Pasko, so you're not alone.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-33592896525944208812012-06-16T23:58:50.272-04:002012-06-16T23:58:50.272-04:00It's no wonder Brave & the Bold and DC Com...It's no wonder <i>Brave & the Bold</i> and <i>DC Comics Presents</i> became your favorites if those particular issues were your first. Alan Brennert's Batman/Creeper story is outstanding, easily one of the best ever to appear in <i>B&B</i>, and while I don't remember anything about the lead story in that issue of <i>DCCP</i>, I remember the Crimson Avenger backup as being quite touching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-86318987011992611952012-06-16T22:23:16.320-04:002012-06-16T22:23:16.320-04:00Thanks Richard.

A few year...Holy cow, that's just astonishing.<br /><br />A few years back, a group of comics bloggers tried to establish a "First Comic Day" on which they would present essays recalling -- as you'd guess from the name -- the earliest comic they remembered reading, or the first to make a deep impression. I had great fun composing mine and I'm sorry it didn't go on to become a recurring thing. This would have fit in perfectly!<br /><br />Re unlikely groupings of heroes, I wonder if you've read the Mark Evanier-devised round-robin series <i>DC Challenge</i> from 1985?Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-63728342815736379952012-06-16T08:49:40.397-04:002012-06-16T08:49:40.397-04:00So much for my detective skills on this one, Jamie...So much for my detective skills on this one, Jamie.
