leigh white Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I was always a DC fan of American Comics when I was a kid, i loved Superman more than Spiderman. Miss you Stan Lee. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Went to an exhibition at the Jewish Museum of Atlanta which was about Stan and his partner in comics Jack Kirby how following the war comics was one of the few places taking in jewish staff. it's amazing how much those 2 men are responsible for in modern culture The rest of the museum was a really insightful place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh white Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 The artistry and colour of those comics being sold on Tyldesley market in the early 60s had me hooked, the story lines had me hanging on for the next issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted November 13, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2018 So which character would be your favourite, if you had to pick one? Would have to be Spiderman for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 In the comics Thor is my favourite. But in the films its gotta be Deadpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted November 13, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2018 Didn't really know who he was, but that's some legacy he leaves. Not my thing, but can understand now what all the fuss is about. He must have been fucking loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
