Yeah, but my motivation for doing the DC stuff is to make sense of it and chronicle it. I mean most DC fans (on top of DC themselves) are more interested in what's current. But, I dunno, it's an obsession, an encyclopaedia needs to be complete am I right?

I'm still on the fence though. I'll contemplate it. Right now I am taking a break and reading DC stuff from the 30's and 40's... And the Pre-Action Comics #1 stuff is pretty dated and dry. I have to sort out which characters are part of DC continuity (characters like Slam Bradley, and Dr. Occult being the two that come to mind) I'm pretty clueless when it comes to characters outside of DC's core characters, so it's a learning curve.

Thanks for taking up the horror and sci-fi, I'm glad I inspired you. I thought about slogging through them myself, but I keep looking back at those expanded history profiles for characters like Cap and Namor and think "When am I going to get back to those again?"

Now we just need someone mad enough to do all those dreadful comedy and romance comics (I tried, dear lord did I try, but it was too painful)

As for getting more research material, I may know some places, add me on Facebook and I'll impart some wisdom.
