February 23, 2013 3:04 pm I passed that milestone seven years ago and I still have a pull list. Granted, it's much shorter than it used to be (six titles now vs. almost everything in print back in the 70s). With a mortgage, three kids in college and current cover prices there's just not as much money left over to spend at Alien Worlds. I do browse the new issues table and pick up random copies of whatever looks interesting. Even though I don't read as many comics as I once did, I get my comics "fix" in other ways. There are many more comics-related movies and TV shows today. I also probably spend more time reading about comics and the industry via iFanboy.com and similar sites than I do reading the comics themselves. I've tried to quit or cut back severely a few times, but after 40+ years it's a habit I'll probably never kick (cheaper and healthier than smoking).

Neal Adams' depiction of Denny O'Neil's story instantly defined for me who Batman was. As an aside, I can't think of any other character in comics that can be interpreted in so many widely different styles, yet still be instantly recognizable and "true" (at least in some aspect) to his character. I agree with so many of the above comments that I am finding it hard to resist making a list of all my runner-up favorites.
