Looks like he made a least one other appearance on a cover: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5ekWTlEGa...2BApr%2B85.jpg |
Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
And around 10 years after his first appearance too! I'd never heard about Captain Strong, holy shit! :lol: DC should bring him back, Popeye is public domain now, so no lawsuits!
EDIT: He's appeared since then as well. And his girlfriend's name is Olivia Tallow. :lol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Strong |

I thought Bibbo was the Popeye rip off in Superman. Or maybe just the way they drew him in the animated series?

On the first page, under the legend, I put my initials. Have always wondered if they're still out there in collections. Anybody got any silver age comics with 'RW' written under the legend?

Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
I never wrote my name or initials on my comics, but sometimes (around age 4 or 5) I would draw pupils on Batman & other masked characters. This was a product of too much Adam West Batman (if there is such a thing as too much Adam West Batman). I think I also have some faded panels due to Silly Putty.

Whitman must have been the only publisher putting out 69 cent comics. I have no recollection of this but I was strictly Marvel & DC by the mid-seventies. It's just in the past year or two that I started getting "kiddie" comics again. Ah, old age.

And this one just because I found it while looking at the others and thought it was funny. Men never change.

Is that right before they both die in a fiery car crash?

Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
Since I just got the Taschen I was going to post the Amazing Spider-man issue #22 cover but saw there have been several Amazing Spider-man #22 covers on the various volumes released. Which is the cover? You decide!

Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
I left off variants that were basically duplicates of each other.
The amount of variant covers nowadays is ridiculous. Did the comic industry learn nothing from The Dark Age? |
Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
That's a crazy number of Spidey covers. :lol: And no, I don't think they have learned anything. I'm just happy that I don't buy new comics these days (other than collected trade paperbacks), the excess of the 90s cured me of that.
