Always hated them. Used to try to haggle with comic store clerks, that this one should cost less because it's got those stupid annoying go-go checks across the top. And it never worked. Hate the go-go checks, stupid idea. messing up some perfectly fine Legion covers. Annoying, annoying go-go checks. Always hated them. Could you do more features about the go-go checks? Annoying, annoying go-go checks.

The little black-and-white Spidey and Captain America pictures Marvel used instead of barcodes were also pretty funky.

Yeah, now that you mention it, it seems pretty logical from that point of view. I remember when Marvel went from the corner box to that horizontal bar back in 1971. I always hated it, though, of course, practically every comic book I was buying those days was off of a spinner rack.

I think "go-go checks" is a fine addition to these 365 reasons to love comics, and I guess "Marvel Value Stamps" are on their way. But I hope we won't see "ads for Palisades Park!" No, I'm kidding. I'd be fine with that.
