I find it worrying that the FF one is the only one whose contents I can recall.<br /><br />Charlie, I'm amazed that any Wonder Woman issue ever got past the Comics Code Authority.<br /><br />MP, I do always wonder why Bruce Banner never tried to live somewhere really quiet and peaceful, instead of always heading for the nearest big city every chance he got.<br /><br />Dangermash, The Hulk's catching up rapidly as well. There's only one possible way out of it. They're going to have to get to work on redrawing more issues of Killraven.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-79998518180210241622017-06-12T02:18:12.708+01:002017-06-12T02:18:12.708+01:00Obviously a great month if you were invested in ch...Obviously a great month if you were invested in chains? Avengers, Iron Man, Wonder Woman...<br /><br />And not a bad month for strapping heroes on to big things like rockets and bombs either?<br /><br />I have to say the Wonder Woman cover surprises me that it got past the Comics Code.

Tired of sleeping in train cars and alleyways, Bruce gets himself a job working construction under an alias and settles down to apartment living, with a refrigerator full of Cokes and a dresser drawer full of extra purple pants.<br />As we would soon discover, he would need all those purple pants when he Hulks out and faces the Quintronic Man, the Jack of Hearts and the macabre menace of the Maha Yogi!<br /><br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-82243582300230001582017-06-11T21:50:45.712+01:002017-06-11T21:50:45.712+01:00I just checked and it's only another 21 weeks ...I just checked and it's only another 21 weeks and 30 weeks respectively until those ASM and SSM covers appear on the front of Marvel UK's Spider-Man comic.

I had seen it as a thumbnail in FOOM and it looked amazing. Since it was b/w and I couldn't imagine Phoenix would have the same colour scheme as Banshee, I pictured Jean in pink & purple like Psylocke much later.<br />Also, that was my 3rd from last Conan after about two years of collecting.Dougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965448821892833703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-55589016858788079272017-06-11T19:11:07.470+01:002017-06-11T19:11:07.470+01:00Thanks for the info, Dangermash.
