Whenever I look at the issue now, I'm straightway back in the house I lived in at the time. <br /><br />As for the original line-up of the X-Men, I always preferred them, so I was glad when they were reunited in X-Factor back in the '80s. It was one time I didn't mind seeing a character (Jean Grey) resurrected from the dead.<br /><br />I think my brother only started buying Smash! for Batman & Robin 'cos it was on TV at the time, but we both also enjoyed Rubberman and The Hulk. I soon started buying it for myself.<br /><br />Thunder was also one of my favourite comics. I've posted the covers of the three Annuals it spawned somewhere on my blog - and I only need to acquire a few issues to have a full set. Not long now.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-39249645812830071982012-01-30T03:56:07.621+00:002012-01-30T03:56:07.621+00:00The design and colours of both covers are beautifu...The design and colours of both covers are beautiful.<br />Fantastic was my favourite although I read at least two issues of Terrific (and an unknown number of Pow and Smash, where I probably first saw Batman and Robin.)<br /><br />I loved the original line-up of the X-Men and I can picture my mum reading the issue with the Mimic and the Super-Adaptoid to me. <br /><br />The next British comic to make an impact on me was Thunder. But Power Comics were my gateway drug to the U.S. originals.Dougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965448821892833703noreply@blogger.com
