Hmmm... maybe I'll analyse an old issue of Amazing Heroes. Should be good for a chuckle, especially if I compare it to the same issue of the Comics Journal!

Of course, the only one I've seen so far that can actually act is Forrest Griffin. Rich Franklin, not so much. God, I can only hope they look at UFC guys too, if only for sheer entertainment factor.

That was the prime of my "youth collecting" days as I was 11 when this issue came out. I remember X-Cutioner's Song being practically the biggest thing in comics in the world to me (approximately 12 years later I got Jim Lee to autograph the gnarly Wanted poster of Cable, Angle, and Wolverine!). Those were some of the issues in particular that I remember most from traveling to the comic shop the town over from me growing up. I had Spider-Man 2099 #1, steadfastly refused to read DC books (honestly I was scared of not knowing their continuity), and oh, Valiant. The store I went to didn't even carry Valiant, but there was a comic book store in town that didn't sell any comic books except for a half dozen or so comic books behind the counter that were selling for hundreds of dollars (or rather, they were priced that way, I have no idea if he sold any). I couldn't figure out why any comic book cost that much, let alone a comic of characters and a publisher that I had never even HEARD of. "Well, this is the platinum foil cover of such and such number zero." I knew what all of those words meant individually, but put together in such a sentence he might as well just have said "banana banana banana." It was ridiculous to me, even at that age, but I still felt like I was missing out. I never caved in and bought a Valiant book, and that's probably why I like going to cons and buying five Valiant books (including number ones and zeroes) for one dollar and laughing my way back to my car.
