It's impossible to say enough good things about this brilliant, beautiful many-years run, so I can only encourage you to pick it up if you've not had the pleasure of reading it yet.īrubaker also wrote Daredevil stories tied for "best Daredevil run ever," alongside Frank Miller's Born Again and the incredible four-year Brian Michael Bendis run. More than that, it is the best superhero comic book of the last 20 years. This is all to say, Ed Brubaker came aboard Captain America in 2005, and spent the next many years writing what is - and I don't say this lightly - the greatest run of Captain America comics ever written, bar none. The best Captain America comics ever written. It was through Captain America, then, that I really became acquainted with the whole history of comics. I developed a great love not only for the Cap comics coming out during my youth, but also for the great older issues of the 1960's as well.

I spent years searching and collecting every issue of Captain America, and I've got the entire uninterrupted series starting from the famous issue #100 that kicked off his solo series, as well as many issues of Tales of Suspense that led up to Cap #100. and Howling Commando arcs that were great), for a remarkable 29-issue run. Then, a few issues later came the DeMatteis-Zeck team (including a couple of short runs by David Kraft as writer, for some S.H.I.E.L.D. For nine months, I thrilled at every issue by the Stern-Byrne team, and when they departed my heart broke. Those Stern-Byrne Cap comics started me down the road of comic book collecting.

When I was 10 years old, my brothers gave me a copy of Captain America #247 and changed my life.

In first grade, I spent most of my classroom time doodling pictures of Spider-Man and waiting to get home to watch the campy Batman TV series. My earliest childhood memory is of a sibling reading me a Batman comic book. I wore my Haenuli galaxy tights with it.I've been a comic book fan for as long as I can remember, and I mean that quite literally. I made a Police Box cockade pin to wear on it.Īnd the pocket is the “Free for Use of Public” panel from the TARDIS. I wore my new casual TARDIS dress for the opening! I made it using Made by Rae’s Washi dress pattern. Here’s another look at my 9th Doctor and Rose piece: Go see it while it’s on display! The show goes until Nov 23rd. There was a huge turnout last night! There were over 100 artists involved, “Sonic Screwdrivers” to drink, fish n chips from a food truck and DJ Liz O! I was really happy to be a part of it. It’s an awesome show with a huge variety of styles and creative ideas. The “Empty Child” mask under glass below moves! Eep! This piece you could view with 3D glasses! Each TARDIS had a Doctor or Companion inside and even the inside of the doors were printed fabric.Īn awesome TARDIS that is “bigger on the inside”! All of it was from custom printed fabric.

Making bow ties and fezzes next to the balloon TARDIS. Some adorable Amy, River and Clara cosplayers showed up! I didn’t take a ton of pictures, so you can see more of the pieces here on the event Facebook page. The show entrance was through the TARDIS! Here’s me and my friend Michelle. I had a great time at Meltdown Comic’s “The Doctor Is In” Doctor Who artshow opening last night! If you’re a fan of Doctor Who, you have to go check it out!
