World Enough and Time

I started a blog about comic books today: Amazing Tales and Uncanny Heroes.

There are a lot of comic book blogs out there. In fact, I am astounded (if not amazed) by the current popularity and high profile of comic books. I love it, of course.

Comics keep changing. I would have said they were getting better and more sophisticated all the time; but then was reading a few comics from the 1980s that were just as good. But different. I've always been fascinated not just by the stories in the comics, and the characters, but by the industry itself - its styles and fashions, its techniques, its economics, its politics.

So now I have a place to talk about all this.

Excelsior!
