INTRODUCTION
Here we go with another quiz book on one of my favorite subjects: Comic books! Comic books were my first love ... even before I discovered Mego action figures, old-time radio or goofy movies. Some of my fondest memories were going to Depka’s Pharmacy in Rosholt, Wisconsin, which to me was always better stocked than the best comic shop could ever be. I remember getting Justice League of America #71 (the last Martian Manhunter), the Brave and the Bold #85 (Batman and Green Arrow by Neal Adams), Fantastic Four Annual #10 (a reprint of #3, but I didn’t care since *everybody* was in that one), along with issues of World’s Finest Comics, Marvel Triple Action, Showcase, Incredible Hulk, Doom Patrol, and loads of other comics that definitely colored the way I saw the world. Things were black and white back then - they were in full-color!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this selection of questions and I wish you good luck in testing your skill and memory to answer ‘em!
