Even back in the Bronze Age, there was this marked dedication to getting older stories into readers' hands. Which is great for folks like me, who come to the party late!ChrisPVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-58966442456037336692010-06-30T20:30:56.103-05:002010-06-30T20:30:56.103-05:00Thanks for the comments, all.

I know we're Bronze Age around here, but doggone it -- the Silver Age was too much fun to just wipe it away!<br /><br />Be on the look-out for a Dressed for Success with a late Silver/early Bronze Age flair!<br /><br />DougDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04248324005584963229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-37568729644662290572010-06-30T16:43:40.039-05:002010-06-30T16:43:40.039-05:00Haven't read this issue, or any from this seri...Haven't read this issue, or any from this series, but I have to say I'm glad you're giving some attention to a real staple of the Bronze Age - the reprint titles. I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll say it again: these series were a wonderful and rather cheap way to catch up on a lot of Marvel history...Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-13347781099723004422010-06-30T10:43:13.743-05:002010-06-30T10:43:13.743-05:00Nope,wasn't Robert Byrd.

Perhaps this character was based on Virginia Harry Byrd(who served in the Senate for over 30 years)or his son Harry Jr who succeeded him in '65(I live in Virginia,sorry to get "historical" on you). Or maybe Harrington was an amalgam of Harry and Robert Byrd.J.A.

The premiere issue was good, but this one remains one of the FINEST reprints ever. <br /><br />AWESOME COVER (nice bright contrasts with green and red.., AWESOME STORIES (one of my favorite Kirby Cap stories.., simple and sweet), super cheap reprint price on eBay. It's still a keeper after all these years.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.com
