Off back to MCM Expo again today. Spent an inordinate time talking to Chris Claremont yesterday. I do like Chris Claremont. Much more today.

Silver Age Comics: Word Count

Another common belief is that Marvel Comics were wordier than DC Comics. Certainly Stan Lee seemed to have been vaccinated with a fountain pen. So I picked an issue of Spiderman at random (ASM #56 as it happens) and actually counted the words. There were 3,288 words on 20 pages, or an average of 164 words per page. Then I picked the nearest Batman issue chronologically to ASM #56.

Right there, on the spot, inside Sacramento's A-1 Comics shop, the owner offered to pay him $27,000 for his copy of "Detective #27." For some reason, Irwin hesitated. Could it be worth more?
