@combo-man: :
Absolutely. I think comics as a medium has fallen off a cliff in recent years. I've been reading old 70s Marvel comics like Towers of Shadow, Kull the Conqueror, Spoof etc. I also re-read Gotham by Gaslight last week. I rarely buy any new comics, bad and or derivative writing, and substandard art, that's all I see from the industry today.
Yes but why do we enjoy these old comics more? I can't put my finger on it. But for instance with Spider-Man I just feel Peter in the 60s was a more interesting character with a wider range of emotions. He acutally had a negative resenting side. Now for some reason,he only is happy and does a lot of quips during people's conversations and that's it.
