On the weekend of February 25th-26th,  London’s Super Convention will be taking over the Excel Centre at the heart of London’s Royal Docks.   Sold with quite a few mouth-watering prospects including the great Stan Lee himself, whom makes his first appearance at a comic convention...

Avengers #8, Marvel Comics, September 1964 For this spotlight I though I’d go through the Avengers title and try to pick out a sleeper that no one seems to be focusing on. With the Avengers movie releasing next May a lot of collecting attention has been turning to the Avengers title. Things...

This weeks Pick 5 is a little bit different.  Since there are many lists that feature “this day in”, I thought I would try it here.  So this week’s Pick 5 are big events in a given year.  The year I chose is 1941.  A very big year for comics. #5 – Adventures of...

It’s been a pretty good few years for the Fantastic Four/Future Foundation (no matter what Eddie Campbell says). After being largely neglected by the comics community at large – probably since the Waid/Wieringo era – it seems like the books has a renewed interest thanks...

With the recent release of X-Men First Class (which features two cameos), I got thinking about cameo appearances in our favourite Super Hero movies.  Easily there could be a Pick 5 list on just Stan Lee’s appearances alone (hmm… maybe a future Pick 5 there).  I have been...

Amazing Spider-Man #101, Marvel Comics, October 1971 The issue marks the first time Stan Lee did not script Amazing Spider-Man. Stan the Man had his hand in the first 100 but passed the pen to scribe Roy Thomas for this issue. ASM #101 is truly the end of an era. While the Stan Lee era ended...

Marvel Tales Annual #1, Marvel Comics, Summer 1964 Undervalued Spotlight fan Dave submitted this pick and I couldn’t agree more. Thanks Dave for the good work and your good eye for undervalued comic books. Is this the comic book that really made Marvel? The Marvel Age started when Stan Lee...

Have you seen Stan Lee’s NHL super heroes yet? Wow…just wow. I can’t blame Stan and his POW company for trying to make a buck but…wow. While I love comics, there is no doubt in my mind that there have been a few off roads into the land of stupidity. And these NHL...

Fans of Hockey might have heard about the NHL’s Guardian Project where comic legend Stan Lee turned the mascots of each NHL team into a superhero. What they may not know is how this has produced some of the most cringe worthy moments in superheroes. Hit the link and check out some of the...

My Greatest Adventure #80,  DC Comics, June 1963 This comic book has the perfect mix of history, controversy, age and quality to make it a must have. First off there is a bit of a dispute revolving around the creative team. Though writers Arnold Drake, Bob Haney, artist Bruno Premiani and...
