Because all the cool kids are doing it! In no particular order, my 50 favorite moments in comics: 1.

And last time I saw him, David said, as we parted, “hey, you should do a list.” Somehow that led to me not being able to sleep past 6 AM on a Sunday morning as I sorted and re-sorted the little sublists I’d do. Anyway, post-jump: 50 things I like about comics, with hopefully just the right amount of commentary. 5 Great “Eras” for Publishers DC in the late ’50s, early ’60s: A legacy that’s like the pyramids in Egypt–lovely to look at, but I’m damn glad I…  Read More…
