Well when it comes to which decade I like best, I suppose -- and that's the same as anyone you ask -- are the decades I read comics the most, namely the late 80's until the early 2000's. I was really into collecting between the Jim Lee era X-Men until after Heroes Return. The decade I did go back and read a lot of is the 80's, Claremont's run of X-Men, Secret Wars II, New Universe, that sort of stuff. I also have a great appreciation of the Lee/Kirby era stuff as well.

Thank you for the compliments on my writing style. It really amounts to a lot of paying attention to the medium you're writing in. Being a concise writer doesn't require a fancy education or anything just knowing how to convey the message you're trying to make. I agree, a lot of stuff I've come across is -- sorry to say -- cringe worthy. I even say the same about of my earlier edits back around 2005. The thing about good writing is that you need to do it a lot, experience is the only think that'll make it better.

I would chalk up a lot of the differences in writing skills to be chalked up to lack of experience, technical know-how (as far as writing on a Wiki goes) and probably the age range of contributors. This is a very mixed bunch of people with different writing skills that probably speak more of what level education they are at. To which I say we should encourage people to keep writing, that's the only way they'll get better.

As for the 40's era stuff.... I say check it out, it can be repetitive and dull in a lot of cases, but they are a sign of the time in which they came out in. I'd say that there is a reason why whenever Marvel goes back and does 40's era stories they usually stop short of the end of World War II... Because afterword a lot of the stuff gets pretty dry and boring. I think the main reason for that is that the folks at Timely did not establish rogue galleries for their characters. The only exception to this being the Red Skull being a regular antagonist to Captain America, however if you take a look at his appearances through the 40's he was rarely used as consistently as say the Joker to Batman.
