Of course, unlike the nuclear sort, this type of apocalypse (or, as I said in my Christmas post, "Shötterdämmerung") doesn't happen all at once, so it will be tough to pinpoint a specific shark-jumping moment. I just remember that when doing some research for future posts, I was looking through the covers for each month until the end of the 1970s, and noticed that it was around '77 when I started to feel little or no excitement as I looked at an increasing majority of them. We shall see.<br /><br />Anyway, Glenn, we won't expect you to agree with everything we say (nor do we ever), but we hope our enthusiasm will at least entertain you! I have always felt that the anecdotal stuff is one of the blog's greatest strengths.Matthew Bradleyhttp://bradleyonfilm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830827465735526826.post-86377360236592893542012-12-24T16:48:30.282-08:002012-12-24T16:48:30.282-08:00I think you're right on the money with your co...I think you're right on the money with your comment, Glenn. I was 15 in 1976 and that's when the big fish done got jumped! I'm looking forward to seeing whether my memories of the 1970s (lots of very vivid, fond nostalgia swimming in my aged brain) hold up or not and whether the post-1976 Marvel is the apocalyptic landscape I suspect it to be.Peter Enfantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317575598411394944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830827465735526826.post-87314453777276645842012-12-24T03:30:08.863-08:002012-12-24T03:30:08.863-08:00A few months ago, A question popped up on a messag...A few months ago, A question popped up on a message board I visit ... "When did Marvel jump the shark?"<br /><br />Apart from a couple of people who thought Marvel didn't jump the shark, the answer was usually the same. The vast majority thought the shark was jumped when they were about 15 to 16 years old.<br /><br />I turned 15 in September 1969, so my memories of Marvel in the first half of the 70s are not going to be as glowing as the other regulars on this blog. That's not to say I didn't enjoy some of the books, but in future installments of MU I'm looking forward to everyone's recollections of where they were, and how they came to read Marvel books for the first time.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Glenn :)<br /><br /><br /><br />GlennMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536558149189057537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830827465735526826.post-61367811249659452662012-12-23T13:12:03.401-08:002012-12-23T13:12:03.401-08:00Thanks, Dean Enfantino.

Despite how close together the posts are running, I wrote them several months apart, so I hope I haven't unwittingly repeated or contradicted myself!Matthew Bradleyhttp://bradleyonfilm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830827465735526826.post-12884704026519909272012-12-23T12:49:46.987-08:002012-12-23T12:49:46.987-08:00Thanks, Jack!

The funny thing is that as short-lived as that series was, her co-starring status afterwards in DAREDEVIL and THE CHAMPIONS means that she never went more than a month without a book for seven and half years...Matthew Bradleyhttp://bradleyonfilm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830827465735526826.post-33179856278671727802012-12-23T10:27:33.144-08:002012-12-23T10:27:33.144-08:00Fabulous job, Prof. Matthew!
