I think I've read most of this before, and I'm still struggling.

Last night--two days ago, as this posts--there was a pretty bad wind storm here. I slept like crap, and like 64,000 people were without power yesterday morning! Not me, though, I still hadda work; and my brain is running short on power as well! Still, we've got time for one I got last week: from 1975, Son of Origins. Cover by John Romita.

Ten bucks, and in pretty good shape for a book nearly my age! I have seen the ad with that cover so many times over the years, so finding this was a pleasant surprise--it's been reprinted in '97 with a Gene Ha cover, and three more covers in 2023. This collects, duh, origins of the X-Men, Daredevil, Iron Man, the Silver Surfer, and more; along with ruminations from Stan Lee about each of them. But, much as I prefer the Romita cover, I don't love how "By Stan Lee" makes it sound like he did everything from the writing to the art to the typesetting. I'm more forgiving if along with Stan's name there's even a minor nod like "and the Mighty Marvel Bullpen," even if that's also a bit dismissive.

Anyway, I'll be glad to see the back of this week; we'll see if the next is any improvement!
