Here's one that's always bugged me: when did superheroes stop wearing "long underwear" and start wearing "spandex?" Like, what was the first issue that referenced the new, space-age fabric?

To me, that Lobo cover looks like Richard Corben!

I don't know what Alamy's painted work looks like though.

Technically that isn't Jean Grey, is it? It's a clone or a pod person or something like that.

Is there really offense in "I like the other stuff you do more than this one thing you do"?

It's all a compliment, right?

Hear hear Eric!

No offense Brian (I appreciate the work that goes into collating the info and putting the posts together).

Allow me to dissent in finding the other things more interesting than Top Runs.

I feel as though there is literally nothing you don't know about U.S. comics.

I'm both awed and a little scared

Are Peter Bagge's Hate comics autobiographical to any degree? I've always kind of assumed the Bradleys were caracitures of his family, but it might just be me not putting enough space between subject and author.

Cronin's posted like 48 posts in the past 3 days. Give the guy a break, people!

...

Ok, that was long enough. Where's the next installment of the top 100 runs?

Alamy, definitely. I remember he did some other covers at the same time, in the same kinda style.

Yeah, doesn't look like Biz.
Top runs! Top runs! Top runs!

I thought it could be Simon Bisley since he was the artist on many Lobo stories in the past and painted numerous covers of him (the infamous bikini...). But it does look like Christian Alamy's.

I really like these weekly(?) installments. But dammit Cronin, where's the next segment of the Top Runs list?!? The anticipation's killing me.
