...as mentioned elsewhere in RobLand, the Captain does not sleep; his second resurrection is happening right now: http://www.geocities.com/cptaction@verizon.net/
I loved my Captain Action figure as a kid, but was not aware of the comics at that time. A few years later, I saw this ad in an old comic at a friend's house (Inferior Five, maybe?), and ached with longing. I wanted to see this comic so badly. When I was 13, I finally tracked down a complete set at a comics store. I still have them. Long live Captain Action!
I am loathe to admit I have never own, read, or even held these comics. I do have some CA stuff in my colleciton of toys, even though it was before my time. I'd love to have these comics. I understand they are actually very well done. But with Shooter, Wood and Gil Kane, how can you go wrong?
