I love DYNAMO JOE!

[Sargon]

Jon Sable was a great action series. Mike Grell did a fantastic job with it. There are parts which don't hold up as well 30+ years later but it's interesting to note the gay dancer in it who is a bit stereotypical but well written for the 1980s. Plus there was Maggie the Cat!

I was a big First fan, collecting American Flagg, Dreadstar, Lone Wolf and Cub, and Mars.

I haven’t read any of them in years, though... do any of the titles still hold up?

add Munden's Bar (1988)

I need to see if the Sable television series is available to stream. I loved it at the time. Not sure if it holds up. I remember thinking the theme was awesome.
