Day 7 - A Comic That Reminds You of Your Past

Zero_Hour_1.jpg

I remember when I was a kid into comics, I used to go and pick them up from a small book shop, where they would put the comics in a big blue box, and you would look around to see what ones you wanted, and they were 50p each, or three for £1.

The place has been shut down and restarted several times, and it's been over twelve years since they sold any comics. But whenever I see this cover, I think of the first place I ever bought comics from.

Day 7:

This took some fucking legwork to figure out what it was. All I recalled was Ka-Zar and Dr. Strange and most of the heroes being dead, thanks to Onslaught. I present to you the first comic a nine year old Preston ever bought:

"It had been a long, strange night for the Nextwave Squad. One of them finally had his turn at winning. One even approached a Character Moment. You can be damn sure we won't let ☠☠☠☠ like that happen again."

My original comics habit was Transformers UK, this being one of the most significant storylines. It lead to all sorts of cool stuff, like Megatron fighting Galvatron.

"Rorschach's Journal: October 13th, 1985, 8:30 PM...Veidt is a typical liberal. He is decadent and pampered, betraying even his own shallow, liberal affectations. Possibly homosexual? Must remember to investigate further."

I love bad movies. I can quote the hell out of Troll 2, Manos: The Hands of Fate, and Showgirls. Hence, something like All-Star Batman & Robin is filled with things that are just so MST-worthy. Batman Odyssey would be here if it had been out longer.

College. I discovered Barry Ween at the AWESOME comic shop just off campus at Penn State.

My childhood was just smothered in G.I. Joe and I got the comics as often as possible. For some reason, this one always stood out to me, to the point where I remembered the issue number all these years later.

It's a tough one between this and "Watchmen." In the end, I picked this because I thought Watchmen would be a real common pick.
