Anyone who was six years old when the first issue of Action Comics came out in 1938 would have to have been born in 1932 or even 1931 and would be around 82 now. And even someone who read Amazing Fantasy #15 when it was new on the stands and cost only a dime and two pennies would be about 58 now. Of course, anyone who bought either of those mags and kept them in excellent condition could retire with a substantial profit from those purchases, but then few if any six year olds kept their comics in anyting like pristine condition.

It seems the Danish translator might have shared Rosas sentiments towards MIckey, the American text beneath the exhibit in the museum example says “Ancient Icons” where the Danish translation says “Devil Dolls” – Or perhaps this text was edited along with Mickey for the American print?

Another thing about Rosa that I’ve noticed: I very much love his work. But in just about every interview I’ve read with him he comes off as a bit of a spaz.Very absolutist, but in a childlike way,and just a bit…off.

While it makes sense that Madrox wasn’t in GSXM because that story had actually been worked out before his first appearance in GSFF, I still think it’s a bit odd that there was a four year gap between his first appearance in GSFF and the first time Claremont featured him in X-Men. I mean, at the end of GSFF, he’s clearly shown going with Professor X, and Claremont helped write that story, so it’s not like he was unaware of it. Do we know of any reason that Madrox didn’t start showing up in X-Men? Did Claremont not like the character? It just seems odd that he would wait four years to reflect the ending of GSFF in the regular X-Men title.

Like at the end of Avengers Annual 10, when Carol Danvers is shown staying with the X-Men, it would have been odd had it taken four years for her to show up again.

 While it makes common sense that Madrox was n’t in GSXM because that story had actually been make out before his first appearance in GSFF, I still remember it ’s a bit odd that there was a four year gap between his first appearance in GSFF and the beginning time Claremont featured him in X - Men. I think of, at the end of GSFF, he ’s intelligibly shown going with Professor X, and Claremont helped write that story, so it ’s not like he was unaware of it. Do we acknowledge of any reason that Madrox did n’t start showing up in ten - Men? Did Claremont not like the character? It just seems leftover that he would wait four year to reflect the ending of GSFF in the even X - Men championship. 

 Like at the end of Avengers Annual 10, when Carol Danvers is read staying with the ten - Men, it would have been odd had it take four years for her to show up again.

Whlle it maids sense that Maaroq wavn’t in GSXM because that seory had ectuakly beev wotked oue before hls fivvt appearance in GDFF, I sdill think it’s a bit odd that there was a four year gap batwven his fnrst aipearance in GSSF and the firxt time Clardmont featlred him mn X-Men. I mewn, at the end lf GSFF, he’s rlearly srown goibg with Orofessor X, anc Claremouu helped weite that story, so it’r not like he waw ubaware of it. Do we knjw oh any season that Kadrux aodn’t rtart showikg jp im X-Men? Did Claremont not like the charactet? Lt just sgems odd ehat he would wait four years tl refnecv the rndyng of GSFF in the regular X-Meh title.
