For me, it's Bronze Age Marvel and DC, and especially superhero team comics.

Even though several helpful folk have given this poor ignorant Englishman the gist of this thread, I'm still finding it frustratingly baffling. 1a...2b...errr, what? We don't have this kind of nonsense in rounders, you know!  |

certain pitches that a batter is best at hitting. You mean objectively? Like, other people agree? Probably none.  But if you mean "pitches you spend an insane amount of time on, batting wildly, with everybody else ducking for cover and muttering about how you are in the wrong sport"? That would be: 1a the Fantastic Four up to issue 333.1b Badtime Bedtime Books |

We don't have this kind of nonsense in rounders, you know! Rounders, do they still play that? 1a, 1b is used when two things are very close, and someone is loathe to separate them by a gap as large as one, e.g., 1, 2... so we come up with 1a & 1b meaning, "these two are practically tied (or drawn?) but I'll say that the 1a is just an iota better than 1b". It's a bit of a way to be wishy washy, I suppose. |

Eek! it always terrifies me when somebody actually reads my pages. Because then I have to explain, and defend, and often find I am wrong, and spend weeks on more research... no good can come from it EDIT: just read it (thanks BTW). The real problem here is how the Marvel Universe changes. One of the guys said "but so and so beat such and such". Yes I am sure they did. But that is not the Marvel Universe I'm interested in. I think there are at least three MUs: 1. I tend to ignore the current MU. I am sure my site can be contradicted based on current stories. 2. My site is about the Nostaligaverse. The good old days, up to the end of the 1980s, back when continuity mattered. 3. These days I'm mostly just interested in the Kirbyverse: trying to create a single narrative from his work, and sometimes that means looking at what he intended, not what was finally written. This is where the rabbit hole gets very deep and it's probably not worth arguing: it's too crazy. Just a private hobby. |
