I could probably have made the same point with less than half the words. Surprisingly, there were quite a few intelligent letters - a lot of them by Mike Mittelstadt, who was a regular contributor to the Mighty Marvel Missives in the mid-'70s. Glad to hear you've also had your name in print - I still get a thrill when it happens to me.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-62884984029421461282014-01-27T15:09:00.965+00:002014-01-27T15:09:00.965+00:00Were all the letters that intelligent and thoughtf...Were all the letters that intelligent and thoughtful? Whenever I've thought about the letters pages from those days(which is not very often) I've assumed the letters were all a bit juvenile,"I like Spidey because..." sort of thing. Actually, one thing that bugged me about Star Trek:The Next Generation was that it was a bit too soap opera-ish and concerned with the crew's private lives unlike the original Trek where the sci-fi adventures were the important thing.As for getting letters printed, I had one in the Radio Times in July 1984 but it wasn't very interesting and I was a bit embarrassed by it, I was 18 at the time and it looked horribly immature compared to the other letters. It was a hell of a shock when I got a postcard from RT saying they were printing it though! I also had a letter in SFX magazine last year and an email read out on Radio 4 - what an honour!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-50948407959365677942014-01-27T14:43:15.713+00:002014-01-27T14:43:15.713+00:00I think I had at least three, possibly four letter...I think I had at least three, possibly four letters printed back in the '70s, Mlp. Funnily enough, I've probably had more printed in the last few years. That's persistence for you.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-35260998671180296852014-01-27T10:08:01.464+00:002014-01-27T10:08:01.464+00:00I only wrote one letter to Marvel Comics, back in ...I only wrote one letter to Marvel Comics, back in the early '80s when I was 13 or so, and holy moly, it got printed!<br />But unfortunately, my hand writing was so bad that they couldn't read it clearly, and both my name and my hometown got garbled and misspelled in the letters section!<br />Like Dean Martin sang, 'Ain't that a kick in the head!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
