Stern is the most unappreciated writer in comics history. I met him at mid-ohio con and he had 0 line and mike mignola was next to him and had about 2 people in line. This was back in 1992 but I was flabergasted. Come to think of it Mark Waid only had 1 person in line...and that was when he was tops...
Triumph and torment was another of my favorite stories...unfortunately I can never find those Captain America issues I always wanted to read them but never have. I got my Dr Doom/Strange hardcover signed by both guys and had a really long conversation with both guys. it's fun when you actually get to talk to people rather than them rushing you.
The only really long lines were for John Byrne and jeff smith.. I was surprised.
Even Walt Simonson didn't have a line..that was a crazy show.
Stern's Dr Strange, spider-man and superman work was fabulous.
All those Swamp thing works you mentioned are must haves and available in TPB.
The nicest man I've ever met...period. Sergio Aragones-he is a wonderful, talented human being.
