Does anyone know the Mike of the Mike's Amazing World of DC Comics website?

 

Why has he let his superb site lapse?

 

 

He found paid work. A lot of development was done when he was out of work.

 

 

I haven't let the site lapse. It's been up and running as usual. I've continued to put in 20-40 hours a week on it just about every week for the last 10 years. I've also never been "out of work", I've held a real job the entire time.

Sorry Mike. Must have mixed you up with someone else. I gave up on my own DC completist aspirations after 19,000 issues. I was finding increasing hard just keeping up with each weeks new issues and the onslaught of variants.

It's sad that Mike won't post until and unless insulted though....

I hope Mike is doing ok, and the newstand comes back soon.  One of the best comic sites out there.

Nope, and everything's back up!

The Newsstand is quite fascinating.

One interesting fact it reinforces is that there was a lot of dross produced in every Age of comics, and the good stuff is a small fraction of the overall output.  Modern comics receive far too much specific targeted criticism for being much, much worse in this respect.

As a Bronze Age kid, it's nice nostalgia to revisit what was on the racks each month during the mainly 70s period, but also sad to see all the piles of drek which I'd forgotten about.

Agreed, I've spent hours on that site clicking through my first few years of collecting, mostly '77-79.   I also appreciate it when I find some random Spider-Man mini series from the mid-90's where (after buying it) I try to figure out where it fits by release date with the dozens of other Spidey mini-series being published at the time.
