Title: Re: Superman and friends releases for JUNE 2006 Post by: Continental Op on March 23, 2006, 07:54:21 PM Only ONE of the "greatest Green Lantern stories ever told" was from the Sixties? Riiiight... :roll:
Title: Re: Superman and friends releases for JUNE 2006 Post by: Lee Semmens on March 24, 2006, 06:05:17 AM I can't believe it either, especially as I am huge fan of 1960s Gil Kane Green Lantern.
Not that it particularly worries me - I have all the issues from this period (or archives of the very earliest ones) - so I won't be buying it anyway. Title: Re: Superman and friends releases for JUNE 2006 Post by: nightwing on March 24, 2006, 08:08:25 AM Let's face it, all the greatest Green Lantern stories ever told were from the 60s.
But we've already got the Archives and Showcase. Title: Re: Superman and friends releases for JUNE 2006 Post by: Genis Vell on March 24, 2006, 03:53:55 PM Quote from: "Klar Ken T5477" SOLO SERGIO!!!!!!! :) It will be mine! |
