Egyptian hieroglyphics were the true Golden Age, though. Hieroglyphs? Hieroglyphs are for little minds who can't appreciate the nuances of cave painting! Cei-U! I sneer at your "Golden Age"! |

Cave painting? Its too dark in there and you have to duck the bats. Now back in the day of lines drawn in the sand...

Please -- enclosed dwelling graphic design. And I would agree with you up until Thog switched over to Dokka's dwelling. The Enclosure of Ideas just wasn't the same after that. |

Egyptian hieroglyphics were the true Golden Age, though. Luxury! There were 25 of us living in Nachcharini sharing a single strap of leather. We used to dream of living in the Stone Age. It would have been a palace to us. |

Are Anthro's grandchildren still suing DC over the rights to Oral Tradition?

I'd go hardcore with the rules; if you weren't there when Action Comics #1 hit the stands, you're out. Enough of this new-fangled cr*p. You want a good comic? Yellow Kid, my friends. That was the good stuff, back when I was growing up. Egyptian hieroglyphics were the true Golden Age, though. You know, it really all started to lose its purity once Grog stopped finger-painting the great bears and moved on to elk's and bison. Feh! |

I'm surprised Marvel and DC haven't resorted to inserting gorilla's into the covers given all the last-penny-squeezing variant's and relaunches.

Coming forward a bit from the Neolithic Caves of Peru, we find a number of prototypical versions of classic Marvel characters. This always seems to stir the pot. How do we feel about those pre-Hero Marvel creations like Sandman (JIM #70), The Hulk (JIM #62), Quicksilver (Strange Tales #67), Iron Man (Strange Tales #75), and Dr. Strange (Strange Tales #79)?

(Well, I do. I have the 1970s reprint for the JIM #62 Hulk and I just read it two or three days ago.)

I am shocked that Roy Thomas didn't team them up,transport them to the future and fight the Avengers for 2 issues. |

But not all prototypes are created equal. Many are no longer even considered prototypical, the preferred term being coincidental, or nascent. I suppose legalities rule the day as far as early versions go. But as for me, I love the throw-everything-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks ethos of the early Marvel.
