I was always a DC fan. Superman, Batman, Blackhawk......

....Never liked too much of Marvel

Stan Lee is a bleeding heart Lib.

BUT

I did however enjoy the Fantastic Four.

I never did get Spidey. But in college I read Dr Doom and the Silver Surfer...just for 'sh*ts and giggles'.

Stan Lee's politics notwithstanding, I really liked Marvel Comics, during their golden age (which just happened to coincide with my primary comic-reading years). I particularly liked Spider Man and the Fantastic Four.

Never really got into the Super-Heroes.
Collected Conan the Barbarian and Swamp-Thing among others.
Still have all the Swamp-Things to about 1978.
Still have a file cabinet full but sold most of the good stuff to help pay for college.

Hi, Vacqueo:

Though not much of a "Superman" fan, I've always preferred DC's "Batman" to anything from Marvel.

The only comic book character to come close to Batman's overall "cool" was Walt Simomson/Arch Goodwin's "Manhunter" from DC in 1974-5. The story, plot, layout and characters excelled on all levels and set the tone of countless comics to come!

Marvel seemed more issue oriented, even in the '70s when comics were on their way up from 15 cents apiece.

Also preferred Joe Kubert's Sgt. Rock to Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos.

DC's "Blackhawk" rocked with their F-105s!

Jack.
