I wanted to ask if you write about these experiences elsewhere online, since it's a topic that I find quite interesting (not just general knowledge on the Holocaust, but also presenting this information to secondary-aged students).Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-63950395896291762202011-02-27T15:50:58.041-06:002011-02-27T15:50:58.041-06:00I just commented on watching Justice League:New Fr...I just commented on watching Justice League:New Frontier on the AA boards. Funny thing, Doug had recommended for me to check it out almost 3 years ago! better late than ever, and I loved it.<br /><br />The special features was cool too, and it tells the history of the JLA thru the "ages", and the Bronze age, if I remember correctly was titled as 1970 (?)-1983. I tend to think the Bronze age would go a bit further into the 80s. MY personal Bronze age (and comic collecting-Phase 1) would end in the early 90s---probably when Crystal joined my beloved Avengers. Or maybe When McFarlane started drawing Amazing Spm. Definitely by the time X-men #1 came out, or the "jacket" phase of the Avengers.<br /><br />Love the Bronze Age (I just found a Marvel Fanfare #11 for a buck; great Perez/Black Widow cover), I love finding little nuggets of the good old days, and this blog is the best.<br /><br />starfoxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-14007178819769050692011-02-27T13:43:45.693-06:002011-02-27T13:43:45.693-06:00Oh, yeah: spelunking.

In that case, I'll use this for something I was going to post in the suggestion box thread: I was thinking it would be cool to have some kind of post or column on those wonderful reprint digests that DC published in the last 70s and early 80s. They packed so much into those and they were such an important part of the whole scene for young comic readers back then. And maybe another post looking at some of those Marvel special edition reprints...Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-91977886150006617402011-02-27T10:01:54.313-06:002011-02-27T10:01:54.313-06:00re: above comment.

Lots of gangsters and imaginary stories.<br /><br />Everything after the Bronze Age? Way too many massive crossovers that are extremely difficult to follow and the art is either really awful or too slick.<br /><br />I love the look, feel and emotion of Bronze Age books.<br /><br />WayneUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950542957457575780noreply@blogger.com
