BTW - there was a character in the early '90s from DC called The Heckler. Keith Giffen pencilled and Tom & Mary Bierbaum were the writers. His super power was just coming up with so many obnoxious insults that he would drive his enemies into a blind rage and they'd ultimately defeat themselves. Awesome, hilarious title that only lasted 6 issues. Highly recommended and I don't know what happened to the Bierbaums. I know Giffen is getting near retirement age. Giffen is also a highly underrated penciller, imho.

The memory of Joe excitingly thumbing through my book because he hadn't seen a copy in a while worth the grade drop Such a great man. RIP. I’m still kicking myself in the ass over this book from three ish years ago. A 9.2 CGC came up on EBay in the AM and I was in the middle of getting my coffee together, I literally waited a few minutes to sit back down and it was gone for $249.99 Ugh….

	I really enjoyed the Blackthorne and DH series. Very Under-rated. I saw in June that the Blackthorne books funded a Kickstarter and will be republished which is great. Long over-due.

	Grant Morrison did an amazing job writing Steel in the 90s JLA book. I wish they had run with that take on the character. He was more of a leader and they really focused on how smart he was building gadgets. He was basically what Mr. Terrific became after being introduced in the ...late 90s?, but without the ego.

	DC has a kind of interesting character Immortal Man. I think he is now known as Resurrection Man if the two are related. I read the TPB collecting the issues of Resurrection Man and was intrigued enought to pick up a couple copies of the Silver Age first appearance of Immortal Man (Strange Adventures 177): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurrection_Man_(character)

	Space Ranger or Adam Strange. Both are great characters.

Nah, mums the word.....why spill the beans on undervalued books while I'm still trying to hunt copies (as many copies as I can) of them down?
