As a child of the 80s, it is a real treat to add this to the collection. “Wings of silver. Nerves of steel…”

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

As another child of the 80s that had a sliverhawks lunch box and a comicbook fan. Colour me envious.
I bet that lunchbox was great. This variant seemed like the best way to honor the series although there was a snazzy gold foil variant as well.
It was I moved around allot as a kid it was one of the very few things I kept with me as a child. I remember my mom would pack me 2 hohos with my lunch and I would give the second one to the kid who no one seemed to talk to. We all know that kid the loner or the one everyone called freak, Kids are cruel.
Good of you to be kind to other kids. Kindness never goes out of style.
The weird thing at the time I didn't consciously do that it's only now as an adult that I realize that's what I was doing. Back then I just did it naturally it's just seemed the logical thing to do.
