G-Man- You really took me back there. I've always loved to read, but, what first interested me in comics was Superman Vs. Muhammed Ali. However, Secret Wars was a big part of me making mine Marvel (say that five times fast). What really sealed the deal for me and showed me what comic books really could be happened right as Secret Wars were wrapping up. In Uncanny X-Men 190-191, Kulan Gath had transformed the City of New York into an ancient land of sword and sorcery. All the heroes in the vicinity (X-Men, New Mutants, Avengers, Spider-Man) became transformed into their D&D counterpart. This was a kewl concept and was handled brilliantly. The scene where Spider-Man is crucified connected with me on many levels. Secret Wars got me into Marvel...the Kulan Gath storyline made me a lifelong fan.
