Update to my posts of a week or two ago.
In the interim of buying a new set of the original Epic run on eBay and the new copies arriving, I, of course, found the missing box of comics that contained the original copies. It turns out I had not picked up one of the original issues when I was a kid, and it was one of the issues that was expanded for the new collection.
I think it’s a good idea for me to review the original incarnations soon.
