West Coast Avengers vol.2 #20. This was the first issue of this series that I bought new off the stands. I've probably mentioned this comic before on the podcast, but this Steve Englehart scripted tale was part 4 of a lost-in-time storyline for the team. Different members of the team were lost in different time periods and interacting with other Marvel characters from those time periods. Great stuff-- but then again, I'm a sucker for time travel stories. I remember asking my family to pick this one up for me when I was 9 years old. They brought it home from a Sheetz convenience store, ready to be devoured by my eager comic-reading eyes.

Ew. Icky. Love stuff. Although the cover was a little overboard with all the happy hearts, the tale inside was a bit better. When I read Superman #12 as a youngster, I don't think I knew that this was a post-Crisis re-telling of the Lori Lemaris story. The story of early love for Superman was a sad one, and the tail...um, tale had a twist. I originally bought this comic as part of a 3-pack of Superman issues at either a K-Mart or a now defunct local chain called Gee Bee Department Stores. This issue was part of John Byrne's run that began the post-Crisis Superman.
