A recommendation to all to pick up Wonder Woman: Dead Earth.
https://www.dccomics.com/comics/…
Some genuinely wonderful artwork and a story that is in parts surprising, relentless, and brutal. Wonder Woman is a book that I have never spent a lot of time reading, but this really is something else and pulls the character in directions that I have never seen before.
Issue #3 is a jaw-dropper.
- Going to hunt these out, cheers!
Did you see D W J had started a Youtube channel recently?

Not quite a comic, but a cover for a movie about a tracer. :-)

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.

faves of my era (90s):

- kevin smith's daredevil arc
- the all too brief wildc.a.t.s. reboot with travis charest
