Then I started noticing writers and artists I loved contributed some issues. <br /><br />Also, characters I never thought they would get their own issues did get their spotlight. Some I never heard of before.<br /><br />In fact it was one of those, an obscure character named Midnight (a Spirit look-alike) in issues # 28 that got me hooked on that series. It was drawn and inked by Gil Kane!Four-Color Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804953054545248969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-48235447892546765742011-07-26T15:28:17.276-04:002011-07-26T15:28:17.276-04:00I can't help but feel sorry for Roy Thomas, wh...I can't help but feel sorry for Roy Thomas, who worked so hard at making the DC continuity work, both pre-Crisis and post-Crisis. And see what happened... <br /><br />It's a good thing that we've still got these cool comics to go back to, if we simply forget what has happened since!BenoƮt Leblanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295664047855848543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-31945226411099161082011-07-26T14:08:10.678-04:002011-07-26T14:08:10.678-04:00I own this comic, it's a nice one.

Incidentally, one of my all-time favorite lines of dialogue in a comic was in All-Star Squadron # 35, (also written by Roy Thomas of course) where Black Condor says, (referring to his life on Earth 2 just prior to emigrating to Earth X) "I've got nothing back there--just a fake life as a dead Senator!"Neil Anderosnnoreply@blogger.com
