HOW OLD ARE YOU ILC???

wow, I am in my 40s now.

You didn't know that until you took this poll?

25 as of last Tuesday, it is freaking me out.

Silver Age

29, will turn 30 next year.

In my 20s for another two months.

Continually published for 471 monthly issues.

Same creative team?

I am 44.

33. I need a retcon.

Dave is wiser than his years. I'm not quite at issue #500, myself.

Ha -- nice to see that ILC is a microcosm of the Direct Market target audience (aka OLDer FARTZ).

And (so far) 100% XY.

We should reach out to a broader audience and talk about Marvel / DC books more. Or Heavy Metal.

Born with ASM # 37, now at issue # 506. No spinoffs, but several quality miniseries!

The number of longboxes I have, multiplied by 7 and a half.

I'm the typical age of a superhero, mid to late twenties presumably.

Believe me, if I could figure out how to fire those fuckers...

I stopped reading comics between the age of 17 and 24, so I'm going to take 7 years off my age.

Therefore I am 23.

Thankyou.

wait a minute HOW OLD IS DR SUPERMAN!!?!?!?

I think he's like the Vulture in that ASM Lifedeath arc from way back. That's just one man's theory, tho.

Dr. Superman is a pan-dimensional gestalt entity to whom the concept of age does not apply.

Yeah - probably like The Watcher, but with a better wardrobe.

Note to Marvel: hook up Uatu w/ some natty Burberry couture ASAP.

I think I know how old Dr. Superman is, but the secret dies with me.

He's also the only ILC'er aside from Leeee and Douglas that I've met off of the internet. Everyone else is an AI bot/script so far as I know. 'Cept for maybe Martin.

I'm 23.

Someone on the internet should make a page where you can see which titles debuted on the month / year of your birth.

I'm a dream -- a hoax -- an imaginary story.

This reminds me of one of the guys in CAPA-Alpha -- a former pro -- who does "this month in comics, xx years ago" zines, with cover art, issue summaries, artist/writer credits -- printed in color, too. He's been doing them so long that I know he's covered at least all of the Silver Age, with some coverage before and after as well.

I don't know about comics, but this song was number one when I was born.

Dave's age.

I would be 51, but I started over at 1 post-crisis.

(McCartney '77 looks a bit like Tim Pawlenty '08, btw.)

Here's the Marvel side of that equation, for a start. Human Fly debuted the at the same time as I did!

Hmm. I debuted with Howard the Duck Volume 1 in Jan '76.

My highlights: Avengers #2, X-Men #2, Modeling with Millie #27.

Green Lantern was bimonthly in '77 and had no June issue, but the July ish had a bald-faced Green Arrow who'd just assassinated the POTUS!

24

And writing that in the context of this thread makes me feel very young.

...but with a better wardrobe.

I wish.

Weird. I was apparently born the same month Giant Size X-Men #1 came out. I could have sworn that was older than I am....

The final issue of "Not Brand Ecch"?

22

38 (but not for long)
What came out in Nov 1969? Apart from me that is.

Kamandi and I are the same age. I must admit, sometimes I feel like a filthy animal.

KAMANDI was the first comic book I remember reading. Warning: Small children receiving direct exposure to THE KING may be subject to random genetic mutation...

Reagan was elected a few weeks before I was born - I haven't the faintest clue what premiered during that month.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Goddamn kids these days!

With their hippity hopppity rappity rap music and manga hanging down below their rears...
