Recuerdo salir un fin de semana con mi mamá, uno de varios los paseos del fin de semana que llevaríamos las tiras al por menor grandes en el Bronx para sus viajes semanales de las compras.

When I was 10 years old, I was sporadically collecting comic books. An Incredible Hulk book here, a Mighty Thor book there. I remember going out one weekend with my mom, one of several weekend walks we would take to the large retail strips in the Bronx for her weekly shopping trips. On the way to those shops, we would stop at one of the various discount stores where I could shop for comic books (yes boys and girls, comic books used to be sold in discount stores way back when) As I went to my usual spot to browse for a book or two, whatever my dollar bill would buy me, I came across a book that would change my life forever….The Mighty Avengers #200, written by Jim Shooter and drawn by George Perez!  

Probably Something YOU Did I’m kidding; I’m sure you had nothing to do with it…or did you?? Actually it was the combined efforts of many people, primarily this group of jokers; maybe you’ve heard of some of them? First up we have the author Michael Colbert, followed by artists J.K. Woodward, William Blankenship, and Ryan Sargent, then some guys named Tony Lee and Lou Anders, this Josh Finney character, and something called 01 Publishing. And of course by “crazy” I mean “completely crazy-freaking-awesome.”
