Ditto Jason..! Some beautiful artwork in those magazines, especially the cover paintings (one of my favourites was 'The night the tow-rope broke', with a great painting of a Horsa glider on the cover..)

Which was/is your favorite superhero then? How many remember Atom, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Captain America, The Phantom, Daredevil, Mandrake and so on...?

....After the series existing in cartoons, radio plays, and serials, a movie based on Mandrake with actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers is set to start filming in 2008.

My favourite was Spiderman as a kid (I was an insect collector.. ), but I saw a bit of one of the new films and didn't like it at all...
The incredible Hulk was my next favourite, and my brother was a big Batman fan.

I used to love the TV version - the fight scenes were hilarious with the words "Sock!", "Pow!", "Crack!" written across the screen, so you couldn't see him physically bashing the villain..!

...Kind of a cross between "what's my name? Where do I live?", and "From a scientist's point of view, would I be considered more intelligent than a bi-valve..?"

I grew up mainly reading Marvel comics. X-men and Iron Man were my favorite!
My favorites characters would be either Colossus from the X-Men, or Iron Man. Followed closely by Wolverine.

Many of those titles were before my time, but sound cool!

I don't remember any aviation comics though there is a vague memory of one about WWI aircraft - kinda like Red Baron stuff.
