Unfortunately, too many comic readers today don't have that type of experience.

I adored this (and "Eternals" and Jack's "Black Panther" AND Jack's 3rd go-round on "Captain America") and I'm glad to read you did, too.

(I was such a naive young lad...) But given that I'm the proud owner of Marvel's "Godzilla" anthology, I still might end up taking a trip down memory lane with this collection at some point.
