I absolutely believe so! ![]() ComicList Critiques by Charles LePage New Avengers #43 Here we learn a great deal about Captain America we saw arrive on Earth with the rest of the 1970's-80's style heroes in the Skrull ship that crash landed in the Savage Land. If you've been reading SECRET INVASION, you will not want to miss this comic. If not, you should read it to find out why SI is welcoming good reviews and sales. 01:02:08 pm, by ComicList Categories: Reviews, Checker Book Publishing Group, ComicList Critiques ![]() ComicList Critiques by Charles LePage Milt Caniff's Steve Canyon 1947 You will find no finer piece of literature in the world of comic strips or comic books than STEVE CANYON.

It's clear to me now #1 wasn't put together as a single issue that could be enjoyed and appreciated on its own, but instead was designed as the first chapter of a trade paperback. #2 is the next chapter, but it works fine as an individual comic book.
