I swore this read Top 5 Amourous Old People in Comics
….that’s the next list, isn’t it?
This list is wonderful
Stan Lee didn’t make the cut? What’s more adventurous than banking on your reputation in a gamble to make NHL comics popular?
I knew #1 would be the old-timers from JSA. They are just plain bad ass!! Quatermain is a great character as well. I’ve read the actual stories Haggard and they are a lot of fun.
Brit!
I would put brit there too. Kirkman loves old superheroes.
I like that the last one is like the whole JSA. It’s unfair how many cool characters they have that are gettin’ on in years. I loved Wesley Dodds in Starman. So great!
Honorable mention to Vandal Savage
Aww JSA. Remember everyone, how awesome the JSA was under the guidance of Geoff Johns? Aww.. (tear, effin’ tear).
@Heroville
First on that amours old people list would have to be Aunt May wouldn’t it… Uncle Ben, Doc Ock, Jarvis, Mole Man (in those weekly strips in Comic Shop News), and JJJ’s dad…
“I made a funny.” That caption made my morning.
Who is the artist on the JSA cover?
@cahubble09 Alex Ross.
JSA FOREVER! Man, what a legacy.
@PaulMontgomery : Thanks … that was my guess, but I needed confirmation from someone more knowledgeable.
You don’t fuck with the JSA’s Big Three, man.
Why no elderly Wesley Dodds? He was hardcore even when he needed a cain!
This is probably one of my favorite lists. I forgot about Destroyer MAX, I’m gonna have to go dig those out of my boxes when I head home for spring break.
@RapidEyeMovement – Amen. There is just something inherently badass about these three old men going out and stomping some evil.
