Crisis on Infinite Earths [April 1985 – March 1986]

TOMB OF DRACULA (1972) #10 [July 10, 1973]

As I read this comic while watching the first Blade movie and drinking fine Chivas Regal blended Scotch in a beautiful new glass tumbler, I realized that my life is not so bad. Yeah, my job is completely thankless, stressful, overworked and underpaid -- but outside of work I am truly grateful for my geeky pursuits such as comics and movies. Movies based on comics are good as well.

So, this is the first appearance of Blade. I am not sure where Marvel was going other than blaxploitation and horror mashed up together. I doubt any black people even wrote or did the artwork for this issue, but Blade does day, "Dig" a lot. Other than introducing a character that would end up having a decent impact on films and comics, the book is not too significant. God, these 1998 special effects have dated. Old school CGI.

Oh yeah, and there is a hot blonde woman and a cruise ship plus the regular Vampire hunter characters of the Tomb of Dracula series such as Harker.

DAREDEVIL (1964) #1 [April 10, 1964]

I feel like Daredevil's dad now thinking I am passed my prime but want my son to actually be someone and study harder than I did.

I thought it was interesting to see the Yellow costume and origin story of Daredevil. Karen Page and Foggy are in it too just like the Netflix show, but it seems Foggy was his college roommate prior to law school as well. Of course, in the 1960s, I bet getting into law school must have been easier.
