I've read and re-read the Lee/Kirby and Lee/Buscema stories (Issue 1-119) and the later John Byrne run (#236-291) so many times that I know them like the back of my hand, but aside from the pivotal Doctor Doom story arc in 196-200 and the Galactus/Sphinx Storyline in 203-214, there were quite a very issues in the late Silver Age/Early Bronze age that I didn't know too well...so I decided to dig them all out and re-read them again in order, from issue 120 all the way to issue 233! Was really refreshing, some of them I'd only read maybe once before, and ending it on the excellent Byrne "Mission for a Dead Man"was a great way to end it!
Yeah, I dedicated about six weeks of evening reading to reading the entire Peanuts strips from 1950 all the way to 1990 in chronological order. yeah i know there was more after that but i have no sentimental attachment to those so never got the collections surrounding those years.
Man, how I loved these comics growing up. probably the single most important comics of my life, if I think about it. These strips and Richard Scarry storybooks made me the Graphic Novel/Comic Book aficionado I am today!
