I dunno is the short answer. I'd like to is the longer one. Mike at DC Indexes, which is a terrific site, has a master list of DC Comics. If we just say 1955-1970 is the Silver Age, DC published 5,863 comics. From a friend's list of Marvel Comics [...]

Iron Man debuted in Tales of Suspense #39, March 1963. Robots had appeared in many comics previously, and even the concept of a man inside a robot suit was not unique. Robotman, a DC hero from the 1940s and 1950s pioneered [...]

Spiderman 34-38
Người đăng: vanmai yeu em on Thứ Tư, 5 tháng 4, 2006
