SQUEEE!

To my Loyal Lieutenant, who apparently read my whinging and decided to send me a pick-me-up. I just got the first volume of the Walt Simonson "The Mighty THOR" comic collection.

Simonson's run on Thor DEFINED the character for me, and included what may just be the single most CMoA (CROWNING MOMENT of AWESOME) in all comicdom in the duel between Thor and Jormungandr. Or maybe in the Last Stand of the Executioner. Or maybe... Hell, there's so many CMoAs in the Simonson run of Thor!

I had the original comics. They, along with a number of my other comic acquisitions (my entire run of Dazzler, the Godzilla comics, older X-books, Spider-Man, New Teen Titans, etc.) were destroyed in two floods in two different houses.

Thanks, Shana!

I started reading Dazzler at issue #2. I can't remember if the ones I had are still around here somewhere or if I unloaded them. I'm astonished to run across other people who liked it and gobsmacked to learn of a collection. The world it is surely full of things.

I loved Dazzler; at the time, she was one of the very few, perhaps the only, "superhero" characters who really, seriously, didn't WANT the gig, and had a real, honest-to-god other career that she spent time pursuing. And I loved her powers and the way she slowly developed more tricks to use with them.

I also preferred her original outfit, but hey, that's just me.
