Dixon is right on. I recall the justification for these reboots starting in the mid-90’s as a way to “bring in new readers”. Well, clearly that didn’t work. And if Marvel and DC actually understood that their readers, especially the older ones but I suspect many feel this way, want continuity in the numbering since we follow these stories sequentially. I think the impact and frequency of these reboots (I think Captain Marvel is up to Vol. 10 LOL) drove away more old guard collectors.
The spider-man I follow and know and am interested in, kind of died in 1998 when “Volume 1” ended with issue 440 something.
Dixon writing le Baron Francais? Gotta get a copy, question; is there a French translation?
