I just re-read Conan 1-26 from the Conan Omnibus. This is the Big Bang of my life as a comic reader. I also downloaded the Avengers Kree-Skrull War from Comixology and started that. In the early Sal issues.

The real answer would of course be too many to name them all. I find my rereading goes in cycles of interest. I will have a craving for Marvel fun like Spider-Man and Daredevil and Overdose on too much Stan and then go off into Silver Age DC for some Doom Patrol, Adam Strange, Metamorpho and Hawkman then find myself with a Kirby itch and delve into FF/New Gods which then requires an equal dosage of Ditko Dr. Strange/Creeper. Suddenly I want some fantasy and I am diving into Conan and Kull and Warlord before soaring off into space with Star Wars/Star Trek/Battlestar Galactica. Back into some superhero worship with Iron Man, Captain America, Bat Man and Superman before escaping into fantasy alongside Captain Mar-Vell, Silver Surfer and Warlock. I crave some pulpy goodness with Doc Savage, Tarzan, Phantom, John Carter, Solomon Kane and Flash Gordon which stimulates an urge for some Planet of the Apes which takes me back into reliving my youth with Godzilla, ROM, Shogun Warriors, Micronauts wherein it's back into Teams I adored, Avengers, LOSH, JLA, JSA, X-Men and Defenders. Then I am off on the road to Europe with British, Japanese, Chinese and French comic cravings like Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper, Lone Wolf and Cub, Yugi-Oh, Dragon Ball, Drunken Fist, Oriental Heroes, Buddha's Palm, Corto Maltese, Valerian and so forth. And of course then I want some good old fashioned American Westerns and War treats like Jonah Hex, Two Gun Kid, Kid Colt, Rawhide Kid, Haunted Tank, Sgt. Rock and Haunted Tank. And then I crave me some Archie and Disney treats before wanting more super hero frolics. The list goes on and on and is ever changing and ever growing from day to day.

In a drawer I found some '80s comics I had forgotten about and in with the smattering was Eagle comics' Judge Dredd #1-3 and a 2,000 AD Monthly #1 in the similar format (I think it is a second #1 with a Judge Anderson story). So I'm going to revisit these. I expect the first three Judge Dredds could be worth something although to me they are a kind of reprint. Also in there was True Love #1, something Eclipse put out with some vintage Toth and Coletta shorts under a Dave Stevens cover, Springtime Tales #1, also Eclipse, reprinting even older Walt Kelly, and all four World Of Wood (again more Dave Stevens as a bonus). These all must've been in this drawer for three decades. This is what I pulled out to re-read. The Rocketeer Graphic Novel (Eclipse again, must be where I put indy comics with companies starting with E, Eagle, Eclipse, and then there are some Epic books further down) also in there as well though I re-read the individual comics too recently to want to read it again in this form (even with better color). Not quite up there with a drawer full of old Life mags and a few complete newspapers I found in my parent's basement a few years ago that I think had been unopened since before I was born! This is a big old house, but my whole life a dresser tucked behind some furnace pipes and brickwork I had absolutely never noticed. I probably would've cut them up as a little kid or otherwise ruined them. Another time there was a small hoard of stuff from right after Elvis Died that my Dad had quietly put away found cleaning out some cupboards, wrapped in some extra wallpaper that had been on my room back then. I was more excited to see the animals with numbers and letters again then the Elvis stuff. I've been trying to clean up this one attic room off and on and I think I might find more old junk, but I want to pace myself. There's still heavy large things and piles of papers in the way of getting at some areas.

Tearing through my shelves at the minute with so much free time. So far, worked my way through the Walking Dead and Hickman's Avengers, both of which I enjoyed even more reading them in bulk than I did spread out originally as singles. Just started on Transmet.
