Great moments in comic book history.

Dare Devil #133

The year is 1976, New York is in the grip of a crime wave from a fearsome new foe. The dastardly Mind Wave and his terrifying Think Tank! Dare Devil is obviously outmatched and in need of assistance. Who will our hero turn to for assistance: Spider-Man? The Fantastic Four? The Avengers?

No even these heroes would be overwhelmed, only one man can save New York and The Man Without Fear!

Uri Geller and his incredible ability to bend spoons with the power of his mind!

I think Stan Lee lost his week's no-prize for that one...

Wonder Woman #224

July 1976 the bi-centennial is just getting going, but wait theres a problem! A USA jet has been destroyed on Paradise Island, home of Wonder Woman and the Amazons. Thankfully our hero goes to investigate and head off a potential war, but to discover the truth she will have to fight her Amazon sisters and their dreaded ass-hats.

1953 (Destination Moon) - 1954 (Explorers on the Moon) : 4 years before the lanch of the Sputnik and 15 years before Apollo 11, Belgian cartoonist Hergé sends his characters on a trip to the moon.

Tintin and Captain Haddock receive an invitation from Professor Calculus to come to Syldavia (the imaginary european country Calculus is from) , where Calculus is, in a state-of-the-art secure government facility, working on a top-secret project : A rocket that would fly them to the Moon.

You know I have never read Tin Tin, always wanted to, I have heard a lot of good things about it. One of these days I will have to find Tin Tin in the Congo. Don't know why but I have always been fascinated by how blatantly racist Western media used to be. Oddly it wasn't even considered racist when it was printed.

Off course o us now, it is racist. But you gotta keep in mind that it was written en 1930...
Anyway, Tintin in the Congo is not one of the best. I would recommend Destination Moon - Explorers on the Moon, The Secret of the Unicorn - Red Rackham's Treasure or The Seven Crystal Balls - Prisonners of the Sun, these are the series masterpieces.

The Blue Lotus is considered one of Herge's greatest works as well, and an interesting example of an outsider's views of the Orient at the time. Sure, the Japanese and Chinese might be depicted as caricatures to some degree, but it was his first extended story and had a much better structure than some of his earlier books. I like the Moon series for their eerily accurate foretelling of what space travel would be like, and the Inca series presents an interesting look at a no longer living civilization, as well as a captivating search and rescue story. I like the Rackham series, but compared to some of the other stories I'd have to put them further down the list of masterpieces. :2 cents:

Oh yeah...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Johan again.

I will have to check them out. I had never even heard of Tin Tin until I was an adult. The moon stories put me in mind of Jules Verne, so I think I will start there.

That's the part that fascinates me is that when works like that were printed they weren't considered racist. I get the same feeling when looking at 1940's WWII comics with Japanese portrayals. Though in those, dehumanizing the Japanese and Germans was more intentional.

Oh boy is this one a treat! Everyone has heard of the Fantastic Four, but did you know they had their own radio show? In the mid 1970's several of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's stories were turned into radio programs in all their corny goodness.

Apparently there were 13 FF radio shows, not 10. The ten on Internet Archive are public domain, so can be enjoyed legally. Unsure if the other three are still under copyright. They all seem to follow the early comics closely.

A fun issue of Deadpool was #11 series #1, where he and Blind Al travel back in time, and pretend to be Peter Parker and aunt May. It was time travel to an actual issue of Amazing Spider-Man, sort of like "Trials and Tribulations" from DS9.

Speaking of wonder woman, I was surprised when I learned her name was Diana Prince, also the name of a favourite pornstar of mine.

Kind of awkward when that name was brought up during a conversation some friends of mine had about comic books until I found out

Goku made his final trump card, the Genki-dama. In order to bring down the powerful enemy Freeza, Goku had to make it especially large. Suffering through Freeza's fierce attacks, he at last succeeds with the Genki-dama attack. However, it could not defeat Freeza. On top of that, Freeza killed Kuririn with his psychic powers. Goku quivered with rage. He finally became the legendary warrior, the Super Saiya-jin. Through Kaio-sama's tactics, the Namekians are sent to Earth, and afterwards the final battle to determine the strongest in the universe began between Goku and Freeza.

This is a good question. My first answer has to be this though. It's not from my favorite character or series, or from a period of time that was considered great for the industry...but Wolverine getting his adamantium torn out by Magneto. I still remember the issue, X-Men #25. Really stuck in my mind as a kid.

I bought that comic when it came out and still have it somewhere. It might have been one of the very last comics I bought before I stopped collecting them.

I think I have that whole story somewhere. it had a lot of huge moments. Colussus turning against the X-Men, Cable being ripped in half, Xavier wiping Magneto's mind, Wolverine quitting the team because he now thought of himself as liability to his makeshift family. A lot of stuff going on.

Spider-Man 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 the "Perceptions" story line. Perceptions is quite a dark Spider-Man story, set in Canada and featuring a string of child murders. Spiderman and Wolverine go and investigate the killings. The towns folk blame the Wendigo, but it ends up being two men that molest children, kill them to keep the kids quiet and then dump the bodies in the woods. I read it when I was nine years old and remember asking my parents what molestation meant. They wanted to know where I got that word from and told them, "from my Spiderman comics" they didn't want me to read spiderman any more, but in my mind it only encouraged me to keep reading if it bothered my parents enough to get angry.
