...The Return of...

It's been a wild ride the past several months, both in my personal & professional life. Nothing crazy or life threatening, just enjoying my early "forced" retirement and getting back from a nice long European vacation. Eventually, I'll have to get back to work or I'll never be able to afford my comic book addiction!

It's been a while, so, today, I'm featuring 3 GREAT robots that forever changed my childhood. 1st up is the "Original" - Shogun Warriors #1. This comic was based on a toy, but "oh man" - This was the toy of all toys in the 70's! ...And though I never got one of the large ones, I did have myself one of the small metal cast toys. This was back when TV was just adding cable networks and I stumbled upon classics like, Space Giants, UltraMan & Spector Man. (If you are unfamiliar, daintily YouTube these) - This changed everything in my life. All I've ever wanted since is to drive a giant robot!

Next up is ROM, Space Knight #1. My older cousin had a really nice comic collection that was left in our basement while he was in the Marines. I used to go down there and read through them and ROM was one that always caught my interest. (Though his run of X-Men also caught my attention... Yes, there was a #! just sitting at the top of the stack.... Where the hell did those go?!?!?)

And finally, Transformers #1. Yep. This is the one that made it to the top of the pile after a few decades. ...However, I will admit, I was a Gobot guy before Transformers! What ever happened to the Gobots, anyways?!?!
