Sometimes it seems recent, other times it's like a million years ago. However, when I pick up a comic, my mind immediately flies back to when I bought it, making it seem much more recent than it is. I pre-ordered Alpha Flight a few weeks back, along with Howard the Duck. I've already got the originals of course, but I really love those facsimile editions.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-79658030382795936742019-04-22T10:22:21.147+01:002019-04-22T10:22:21.147+01:00Nice inking on that splash page by Dave Simons - I...Nice inking on that splash page by Dave Simons - I have a Captain America annual which he inked over Gene Colan and don't think he quite suited Gene's pencils, but then many good inkers didn't mesh well with Colan's unique style.<br /><br />Interesting that the 80s feels recent to you, Kid- I feel that it was a long time ago but yet comics from 1985 onward feel really fresh and new to me whenever I look at them. Another strange effect of the way we perceive time, I suppose.<br /><br />Speaking of Marvel's great facsimile editions, they are doing one next month of Alpha Flight #1 - I re-read my copies of the first 6 issues a few days ago and absolutely loved them. Under-rated little series that became more convuluted and less casual-reader-friendly after John Byrne left, in my opinion.<br />Dave Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562199843047738071noreply@blogger.com
