Arms of Another0
"Arms of Another" is my first list! It started out as a list of covers like the cover to Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 (Superman holding Supergirl). 145 covers later, I realized that I had several themes going on in one list, so I split it up. This li

Walking Away (buncha quitters!)0
Being a superhero must be tough, and sometimes, they just can't take it anymore. So they drop their masks, toss their costumes in a trashcan (look for that several times), or just walk away. "Walking Away" will be abbreviated "WA." Here's the quit li

Motorcycle Mayhem0
For comics, it seems like the motorcycle is almost as popular as the superhero. To me, it's amazing to see how much motorcycles have changed over the years.Audels New Electric Science Dictionary (1930's or 40's) once defined the motorcycle as somethi
