Since I started it, most people here know I have a thing for old classic EC comics. Weird Fantasy may have been the greatest Sci-Fi comic book of all time!
Maybe not all that shameful :wink: I know there have other fans here. You have to be crazy not to like those old books!
Ok, ok, this is about real trash that most people hate. While most would agree that the best Marvel comics came during the Sliver Age, I must say that as a kid I got a real kick out of those outrageous 70's marvel tales. It was a weird time for Marvel as they were combing Horror comics with Super heroes and thus creating a new genre that was way ahead of it time, but unlike current dark age comics which take themselves far too serious and thus making them boring and insulting. Those old marvel comics were pure cheese and and just plain dumb, so dumb in fact that they were brilliant. All of my old comics are long gone however.
With that in mind, I nearly flipped when I saw this:
