Essential Tomb of Dracula, Vol. 1
Dracula.
The name alone is enough to inspire nightmares.
The legendary Lord of the Undead first appeared in the Marvel Universe in the early 1970s--and Tomb of Dracula, the most popular of the House's horror titles, scared up an estonishing seven-year run. Now, Marvel collects the...
Showcase Presents: Superman, Vol. 1

Silver Age Superman is pretty zany. Most people will roll their eyes at the stupid stories and impossible plots. I, however, enjoy looking at them and finding the absurdities and contradictions.
For example, why would Batman go to such lengths to play a prank on Superman? (He flies to the Arctic,...

It was the world's greatest comic magazine. Again.

This is perhaps THE most iconic story in the entire history of the X-Men. I read it as a kid, "The Dark Phoenix Saga" collected in a trade. It was interesting but a bit hard to follow, as a kid, disconnected from the rest of Claremont's run. Reading it now, for the first time, in the context of his legendary...

Talk about your "destruction of innocent childhood memories" moment. OUCH, baby...VERY OUCH!!!
Now, before I begin my "Waltz O Rant" let me start off by saying that I am:
(1) A slobbering fanboy of comics in general,
(2) A wannabe stalker of...

"We're always being told that super hero books are nothing but adolescent power fantasies. Fine. Here comes the ultimate adolescent power fantasy!" So speaks Grant Morrison, writer of the runaway hit comic, Marvel Boy, don't let the name fool you; Marvel Boy is no tights-wearing pushover. He is Noh-Varr,...
