- Sad but MAD has been a bit of an anachronism for a while. I learnt a good deal of english + drawing thx to them. Still vividly remember the Total Recall issue.spl33nidoru

I bought my first comic book today. Captain America: Secret Empire. I used to be a Superman fan, but I must admit, the Marvel movies and the fact that Cap isn't an alien, changed my mind.
The idea that Cap is a Hydra Agent finally got me interested enough to buy the comic. I'm looking forward to a change of pace in my reading habits. I've been stuck in a rut far too long.

I was in 2nd or 3rd grade and I found couple of issues of Conan the Barbarian(in turkish) that belonged to my cousin's husband and instantly got pulled in. A while later they were moving away so he dumped two huge boxes full of Conans on me that started my first and only comic fanhood.
Conan is more than simple sword and sorcery comics. Robert E. Howard created stories that were the first of its kind in modern fantasy world genre. The parallels between his fictional world and the actual history makes these stories rather fascinating. Makes me think that there was a period of history that is hidden from our knowledge where Atlantis and lost continents had existed“Although it is possible to trace many of [Tolkien’s] story themes and plot devices to their origins in northern mythology and literature, he certainly does not intend to hint that his readers should superimpose a map of ancient Europe and the Near East over his imaginary chart of Middle-earth, as one is supposed to do, for example, with the world of the Hyborian Age wherein the fantasy writer Robert E. Howard laid the scene for his swashbuckling stories of Conan of Cimmeria... which, by the way, Tolkien has read and said he rather enjoys...”
— Lin Carter, Tolkien: A Look Behind the Lord of the RingsStories got published couple of years before LOTR came out and some think it might have inspired Tolkien when he was creating his fantasy world.
