You brought back some serious memories. I was...Wow! You brought back some serious memories. I wasn't, and I am still not a big Iron Man fan. But I did buy Jack of Hearts, Howard the Duck, ROM and especially that lost classic of 70's comicdom "The Micronauts" during his run. <BR/><BR/>I say classic but I mean the first 11 issues of course. The Micronauts never seemed to be the same after Baron Karza died...the first time.<BR/><BR/>But you're right. Everything Mantlo touched was worthy of my consumer dollar at the time. And I bought, oh how I bought. <BR/><BR/>Again thanks for the memories, and the heads up on this book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31147228.post-69053721729913807302007-07-19T21:44:00.000-07:002007-07-19T21:44:00.000-07:00I can't wait for the day that the people behind th...I can't wait for the day that the people behind this book start selling outside of America - I'm really looking forward to this as I always liked Mantlo's stuff.Daniel Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709668308904142615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31147228.post-71990496245896455722007-07-16T05:05:00.000-07:002007-07-16T05:05:00.000-07:00Hi Charles...Thank you so much for the kind words ...Hi Charles...Thank you so much for the kind words about Bill, and the "free publicity" for the book. <BR/>It never ceases to amaze me how many different titles people claim Bill improved during his run at Marvel. Whether it was Iron Man, The Hulk, Peter Parker/Spectacular Spider-Man, or even Howard the Duck, the general consensus is that Bill was ALWAYS able to make lemonade out of the lemons he was handed! <BR/>I think that's a testament to his IMMENSE TALENT, but obviously, I'm just slightly biased in my opinion. <BR/>THANK YOU once again for taking the time to help out, and on behalf of BILL MANTLO, all the best to you and yours! <BR/>--Mike MantloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31147228.post-16072230678534543742007-07-15T22:30:00.000-07:002007-07-15T22:30:00.000-07:00Hi Charles,Thanks for your comments about the maga...Hi Charles,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments about the magazine. I'm gonna have to re-read those Iron Man stories. The first IM stories I ever read were 113 and 114, Bill's last two issues on the series, it was enough to hook me on the title--Bill was just so good. Look forward to seeing you at Comic-Con!<BR/><BR/>Best-<BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
