When I was a child, I read every kind of comics I could find. DC, Archie, Classics, Gold Key, Disney, etc. But after Marvel started and then expanded, I stuck to their comics, and eventually just superheroes. Over 50 years and still reading Marvel. I do watch the CW DC shows, though, and of course, the Marvel movies and TV shows. <br /><br />My first exposure to mythology came from a companion to our encylopedia but Thor and other comics helped me hone it. I never understand why people want to limit things. You can learn from any medium.Sally from PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649707016754971847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-71724951306886289182020-05-02T18:04:34.544-04:002020-05-02T18:04:34.544-04:00Jenn, which version?

Johnny Blaze, Danny Ketch, Robbie Reyes or the original Ghost Rider who was a cowboy like character in the Old West? :D<br /><br />I'm just teasing. The ones I'm reading are the Johnny Blaze stories. I read an issue here and there when the series was first being published but never stuck with it. So I bought the first three compendiums and I'm slowly working my way through those. There's a fourth one to complete that series but I haven't been able to get a copy yet.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-39804085541597086542020-05-02T18:02:30.850-04:002020-05-02T18:02:30.850-04:00Kathy,

Plus the little ones get this big smile on their face. It's Christmas a couple months early for them.

He said he usually gives away the comped issues he gets to hospitals and such but that he might think about giving some of them away on Halloween.
