You might be able to name good runs of popular characters created be Kirby, Ditko, and the like, but you won't find many new ideas.<br /><br />This assuredly has contributed to the state of western comics now being on their deathbed. Japan and France still have strong comic markets so there is definitely something there that the dying old markets no longer have.JD Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548340507655076198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-48767558166036319722019-04-16T10:35:24.912-04:002019-04-16T10:35:24.912-04:00Oh boy.

And our disillusionment equally superlative.<br /><br />Beyond a century-long social engineering scheme, advancing, insidiously and ingeniously like the slow-creeping tortoise of the Fabian society's logo, via organizations like the CIA, MI-6, Tavistock Institute, Esalen Institute, UNESCO, on and on and on, beyond this biblical-grade oligarchic psyop, we also had 9/11. The latter is the chapter break. 2001 will sit, epoch-shifting, alongside 476, 1054, 1453, 1789.<br /><br />I'm kind of rambling here, sorry. But, blogs like this, Brian Niemeier's, John C. Wright's, YT talks like by E. Michael Jones et al are great signs of hope to me. The Spirit is renewing the face of the earth once again.
