So, no new to me Legion lately. But I did get a few old school finds.

Freedom Fighters #15...return of the goo. Been slowly collecting the original series. Sandra Knight, I like to think she's a precursor to Tinya.

Brave and Bold #110. Bats and Wildcat. Ted Grant is another old school favorite character.

Invincible Iron Man #'s 65 and 136. Haven't read them yet, but yeah, I like to old Tony.

Flash, #'s 207, 258 and 281. Silver age goodness back when you still had great stories that could be told in one or two books, and not take five years to complete. The Evil Sound of Music. Very thin takeoff of Jefferson Airplane. 258 just seems like the precursor to Infinite Crisis. *Got this one a few months back, didn't realize it, but both evoke the same thing from me. And 281, part of the Murdered Iris storyline. Don Heck did some great work on Flash that was very underated.

Really enjoying my deep dives into the old books. Just seem more fun. Not so damn depressing as the stuff these days.

Small haul today.

One Star Squadron #5. I get what they are trying to do, but damn, it just depressing.

The Flash #200. Barry is hypnotized into trying to kill the president of the US. Lots of references to the number 200. Kanniger wrote, Irv Novick drew and yet, not a great story for an anniversary issue.

That's it.

No Legion. Very disappointing.

I've been gone from the site for awhile, but I just found something on the net that might interest some of you. I don't know if this is the right place to post it...but here goes.

I found a website that sells Legion T-shirts and coffee mugs, and this month their doing a 64th anniversary sale of the Legion.

I found this cup of Infectious Lass!

The website is Beardedshirts.com. I am not with them, but I love the thought of having a coffee cup with the old school legionnaires.

I 've bought a few Legion t-shirts from them, as well as mugs, and they're good.

Some of the Legion symbols are basic enough that they look good, without anyone necessarily needing to know anything about our particular geekdom. Sun Boy, for instance, has a decent symbol, as do Wildfire, Timber Wolf and Dragonmage.

And wow, they have a TON more shirts and stuff than last time I looked many years ago!

Oh yeah the JLA Vs Legion is out. I couldn't summon the interest to even get it off comixology, never mind the store.

Well, only one book this week and it's a tangential connection.

Went to Charleston with the fam, had to pass some time and went to Ollie's. Found The Flash, Silver Age Volume two for less than $7.00 . Had an original cover price of $29.99. Works for me. There was also a Silver Age Supergirl, and if it's still there when I head back down, I'll get it. Had to spend more on the boy. DXL actually had some shoes he could get into.

I had no idea it was coming out.

Nice, Thoth.

Today, I actually got by my LCS. Didn't have a lot of time though.

Teen Titans Academy 15. The end. This is the end...da da duuuum the only end...my friends...

The Flash 783. The search for spoc....ummm Barry Allen. Honestly, I can't keep up with the shit dc throws out any more. Even their monthlies are so disjointed... who knows what the hell is doing on when cause I sure don't.

Now for the Good Shit.

Showcase Presents....#94. That's right, one of the holy grails from my childhood, the NEW DOOM PATROL. Wanted this since I was a kid, never saw one, much less was able to buy it. Just a measly 8 bucks. Love my local LCS.(I think they cut me a break on the cover price, though, cause my total purchase came out less than what they had on the cover sticker. Great guys there.)

Now, the truly great find for me. MY Greaatest Adventure #82. Truthfully, haven't even cracked it open yet. Saving it for that one great minute this weekend. But..Original Doom Patrol.

Comics were so much cooler then. They didn't actually TRY to be cool, they were just fun, and that's what MADE them cool.

Well, that's it for this weekend. How bout you guys?

Thanks, Thoth. As I get older I'm more for the offbeat titles from the bronze age. Still working on a full run of Freedom Fighters and Secret Society of Super Villians. Those are later bronze and that's cool. Things were more compartmentalized and easier to get full runs.

That's great, Rick. Congratulations on finding such seminal comics. I love Doom Patrol, too, so I have to admit I'm a bit envious. And I totally agree that comics were better when they just *were,* instead of trying too hard to be cool.

Okay, so, lately, there really hasn't been all that much coming out new that interests me. DC is unfocused, disjointed, and frankly, disappointing. So I got the two latest nightwing, and a couple others that I honestly don't remember from last saturday. With the exception being the latest Legion book. I'm...trying. I buy them, I read them...it just isn't Legion to me. It's like some crappy elsewhere book. And that's all I'll say about it.

But,

I made it back to Ollie's in N. Charleston a couple weeks ago, and found the Supergirl: The Silver Age and also Suicide Squad: The Silver Age. The are the cheaper paper colorized that I saw a few months ago. They were still there, so they came home with me. I've only had time to dip a toe into them, but they've been hella fun so far. Stupid stories that have monsters appear for no reason, ludicrous resolutions, but just so damn fun as opposed to the nihilistic stuff with dystopian horror futures everyone is putting out now.

I miss fun comics. Tired of depression stuff. This stuff is fun, silly, out there, wacked out. Guys wearing coats, tie's and hats to work with slicked back hair and bad glasses writing like they were doing shrooms and vodka tonics.

I love it.

Ann, I love the old stuff. I know I'm falling down the rabbit hole of "Eh, back in my day, things were much better because..." but I see so much regurgitation of previously trod material by writers that frankly aren't that technically proficient, the disheartening horrible futures... I miss FUN comics. The last really fun comics were Firestorm and Blue Devil. And then Firestorm went all serious and BD was cancelled, and things haven't seemed all that fun since.

But maybe I'm just old.
