After watching the show, Marvel 75-from Pulp to Pop! I was caught up in the nostalgia of those early days of the Marvel comics revolution. In elementary school I bought DC comics. Superman, World's Finest and Legion of Super Heroes. By junior high Marvel became my favorite line of comics. They were different and felt contemporary next to the staid DC heroes of the time. Plus they gave the artist credit! The dynamic art of Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko was a sight to behold. The constant hucksterism of Stan Lee completed the package-he was like every family's cool crazy uncle.
During my art career I had the opportunity to work for Marvel in the 90's and it was my dream come true!
DC eventually upped their game and followed the Marvel formula. They revamped their characters and universe but I still have a soft spot for all things Marvel.
