I love Tuska's art on Iron man, especially when inked by Johnny Craig. I loved Craig's work when he drew the strip himself - top artist.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-52077594982110663022016-02-20T11:40:55.749+00:002016-02-20T11:40:55.749+00:00I tended to only read (or even view) my comics whe...I tended to only read (or even view) my comics when I go home as well Colin - I don't actually recall reading this particular issue of Iron Man , not even in the UK Spider-man Comics Weekly reprints (ans I got every one of the first 300 issues of that) but it looks a belter (love Tuska's art understated but (imho) brilliant) - I have very strong memories of buying Iron Man issues 38 and 63. I picked issues 63 up again recently and like you said here I was right back to 1972 and 1973 again (respectively - issue 38 was published in 1971 but I bought it at a newsagents about late 72 as you could do back then with US comics) . I plan to pick up the Marvel Graphic Novel Collection - Iron Man edition (£9.99) later on and hope this issue is in it (its from the Tuska era so even if not it will still be a great wee read)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536231589069194279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-50872575112408291582016-02-19T15:48:11.751+00:002016-02-19T15:48:11.751+00:00I probably read it again when I got back home, CJ ...I probably read it again when I got back home, CJ - or a day or two later. After I'd read a comic, I would often just pore over its pages again (and again), drinking it all in. I love comics (when they're good).Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-70885808431469385952016-02-19T15:27:01.575+00:002016-02-19T15:27:01.575+00:00Kid, I'd have waited till I got back home to r...Kid, I'd have waited till I got back home to read the comic in comfort with a cuppa and some digestives. Back in 1981 I joined a sort of comics club where you bought comics by mail order - I remember getting a parcel of comics in the post in December '81 but I waited till the school Xmas exams were finished before I opened the parcel - it was agonizing having to wait but I was glad that I did as I could enjoy my comics without the exams hanging over me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
