Marvel Favourites
faves I will state for the Record that I have, on the whole, preferred Marvel Comics Superheroes to those of DC Comics (click HERE for my bit on them). Although it must be said that my earliest memory of a Superhero was Captain Marvel (SHAZAM) based on a Character by DC Comics - not to be confused with the Marvel...

The Big Apples
tba This Page covers the Best of the Rest - all of whom are set in New York. This was very good for the US buyers as it gave a familiar backdrop to their Characters - something that DC Comics hadn't really done (click HERE for my bit on them). At the time it was probably quite a bit of a risk, in hindsight, it...

team As you may have guessed, this is where I look at some of the great Teams that have emerged from Marvel Comics over the time that I was an avid reader, some twenty-odd years ago, so forgive me if the information is a little dated ;-) I am aware that some of the Superheroes have been Members of several Teams...

DC This Page is concerning the Characters & Storylines that I have encountered from DC Comics. For me they never really clicked in the same way that Characters form Marvel Comics did.

Chapter One
C1 As may already be apparent, my main choice of reading is Science Fiction & Fantasy. The opportunity to allow my Imagination to be guided off to some Distant Planet, Time or Dimension has always proved 'Irresistible'.

Chapter Three
C3 I've always enjoyed the type of humour that takes people's beliefs & perceptions (including my own) of what is 'real' and the, highly dangerous, what life should be and gives them the 'Chaos Theory' flip.
