I still have a few, including my first, and only, horror comic, my only Conans and my first introduction into the world of X-men which had the lucidity of a fever dream as Wolvie fought off the effects of the Brood growing inside him.<BR/><BR/>I was leaning a bit toward DC comics initially, but that X-men tipped me over and when my father agreed to start funding my annual subscriptions (Did I mention my dad rocks? He does) I went Marvel for years before giving DC another look in college.Michael Corleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441107947600810769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-66316527930819449592009-02-27T22:41:00.000-06:002009-02-27T22:41:00.000-06:00Well, he had a bit more of a "devil may care" atti...Well, he had a bit more of a "devil may care" attitude. I don't know if I'd characterize him as mean, but he did undergo a bit of a change to the big blue boyscout persona of the 50's. There's lots of reasons, including a company skittish about the parents groups and the perception of their product. And the accusations from Wertham, etc...<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, you used to see a, uhm, bit more of a proactive approachThe Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-51356607871020756342009-02-27T18:19:00.000-06:002009-02-27T18:19:00.000-06:00Superman was rather mean in the beginning.
