If you're a comic reader who winces every time you fork over $2.95 for a skimpy 32-page book, then conventions are a great place to stock up on reading material.
First Comics was one of the, er, first alternative publishers to successfully build a bridge between standard super-hero comics and more mature, sophisticated adventure comics for grown-ups.
Which is why Gemstone's EC reprints (the `50s horror and suspense comics to which were attributed the rise in juvenile delinquency and which prompted a congressional investigation) are also being dumped en masse.

Marvel Comics #1, now widely accepted as one of the single most valuable comics in the world, saw the premiere of Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, as well as the original android Human Torch and a Tarzan clone dubbed Ka-Zar the Great.
A comic book series dubbed Marvel Comics would establish a new era in edgier, more pulp-oriented superhero storytelling, and the Sub-Mariner would at last have his debut with the first issue in October 1939.
Marvel Comics #1 would have an additional distinction in that it would be the only issue with that precise title.

The hellbender salamander has survived dinosaurs, tectonic shifts and multiple ice ages — only to nearly disappear in the time it took for bell-bottom jeans to come back in style.

If legislators are looking for a rare species of amphibian that's more widespread in Florida, they could pick the gopher frog or the striped newt.
If our legislators designate a state amphibian, it would continue a tradition of naming different members of Florida's flora and fauna, showing a refinement of the categories as time went on.
In addition to the absence of a state amphibian, Florida does not have an official snake, terrestrial mammal, grasshopper, dragonfly, moth, freshwater mollusk, orchid or bromeliad.

Carey's flly comic urban myth continues to shuttle between dozens of mini-chapters (and a Will Eisner reference, "Ronim Elcarim" to boot) exploring these four personas through their pilgrimages of faith and lust, friendship and betrayal.
Whatever you think about Millar's points, including what is sure to be a controversial examination of the pro-choice/pro-life argument here, you have to admire his underlying goal, which is to kick up the pretty sun-dappled bedrock of culture-apparent and have a look at what's crawling around in the dark underneath of culture-reality.

The brown and slippery amphibian has reportedly caused an unsuspecting fisherman or two to gasp after finding it on the end of the line, and provoked fearful reprisals simply by nature of its homeliness.
Although no one knows why, hellbender populations in the Susquehanna--the result of geological and glacial shifts millions of years ago that delivered the Western Maryland amphibian to the central Maryland waterway--have dwindled to the point where the river is no longer considered hellbender habitat.
While the cold-blooded amphibian's range runs along the spine of the Appalachians from New York to Alabama (it also has a close cousin in the Ozarks), the species' health relies on local environmental factors.

Georgia has an official state reptile (the gopher tortoise) and an official insect (the honeybee), but no official amphibian among its 20 state symbols.
With their porous skin and ability to live in water or on land, the green tree frog and other amphibians are good indicators of water and air quality.
As the bill states, a ``well publicized worldwide decline of amphibians has become a major conservation concern, and the exclusion of amphibians from our official state symbols list could possibly contribute to a sense of complacency toward this loss of biota.''
