Mjolner’s Song!

Mjolner’s Song!

The Mighty Thor headlines my final Dollar Box column for StashMyComics.com!

Thor #380, Walt Simonson

I wanted to do something big for my swan song, and being an all-splash page issue, Thor #380 fit the bill! Plus this gave me an excuse to lavish more praise on Walt Simonson’ Thor (which I’ve previously covered here at Longbox Graveyard in parts one and two). Please visit StashMyComics.com for my review of Thor’s larger-than-life battle with the Midgaard Serpent!

I hope you’ve enjoyed my Dollar Box work this past year. I’ve elected to bring the column to a close as part of a general desire to reduce outside commitments (and more about that in a couple weeks in my two-year anniversary Longbox Soapbox). It is with some regret that I step away as it has been a great experience writing for StashMyComics.com.

Thanks to StashMyComics.com for hosting The Dollar Box this past year! While this concludes my regular posting for SMC I hope you’ll mouse over there and check them out — they’re good guys and they’ve been great friends to Longbox Graveyard!

Dark Genesis!

Dark Genesis!

Yesterday I wrote about the first four issues of Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson’s Swamp Thing, and I take an even deeper dive into the muck with this month’s Dollar Box column over at StashMyComics.com., which is all about Swampy’s origin tale from Swamp Thing #1!

Swamp Thing #1

This is one of the finest comics origin tales of all time, and it is well worth reading and remembering even forty years after it was originally published! Head on over to StashMyComics.com for more!

Blown Away

Blown Away

The first Wednesday of the month brings a new Dollar Box column over at StashMyComics.com.

Captain Marvel #34

This month’s subject is Captain Marvel #34, Jim Starlin’s swan song on this particular title. Compared to the cosmic drama that came before, this is an insignificant issue — but the energetic visual style of this book was a big part of making me a comics fan for life. This issue also kinda-sorta featured the death of Captain Marvel, event though it would take another eight years for it to happen!

Thanks as always to StashMyComics.com for hosting The Dollar Box!
