The Graphic Novel Of The Eighties

Mention those two terms - "graphic novel" and "the 80's" - to a comics fan and chances are there'll be two or three titles that instantly spring to mind.

Watchmen, I think, is a given and possibly defines the whole decade of comics.

The Dark Knight Returns will likely be on anyone's list of 80's graphic novels.

And there's a good possibility that Maus will be on your shelves, too.

But apparently, we've all forgotten one. Not just any one, but the graphic novel of the 80!

Old Ads #2

Still wandering through the old classified ads from late 80's and early 90's comics and came across a number of shops and individuals selling comics.

Old Ads #1

Adverts in old comics - we've all seen them, haven't we? X-Ray Specs, spy cameras and radio watches: they were all over the place in the old days. But what about some of the other classified ads that were dotted around?

Run, O.J., Run!

Going through my old comics at the moment and came across an advert on the back of Green Lantern Vol 2 #128 from May 1980 which, with the benefit of hindsight and the internet, made me laugh.
