If you were a kid in the 70s/80s, book and record sets were fun because everytime you heard a chime it gave you permission to turn pages. How authoritarian! Of course, the only thing better than a book and record set was a COMIC book and record set. When I was very young and listening to my grandparents' big floor model record player, I'd occasionally get comic book/record sets to listen to. At some point, someone gave me Star Trek: Passage to Moauv, and I enjoyed listening to it many times. I probably haven't heard it since I was a kid, but it is still stored with my collection, joined by many other comic book/record sets. Considering my later love of Star Trek, this one deserves to be dug out of storage and re-experienced. If you'd like to experience some of these sets (and find mp3s of the records), here's a link you might want to try: http://powerrecordsplaza.blogspot.com/

It was also fun to see semi-obscure characters given something to do, as U.S.1 (from his own short-lived series), Razorback (from old Spidey comics), Blonde Phantom (a golden age character), and Xemnu the Titan (the old Marvel monster who also appeared in issue of Incredible Hulk and The Defenders) all played a part in the tale. I couldn't afford to keep buying this title at the time, but I have since sought out and read most of the rest of Byrne's She-Hulk issues. He worked on #1-8, then took about 20 issues off before returning to do another 20 issues.
