My reason for doing this was to encourage me to be studying in the 5 weeks of vacation leading up to the Trivia Panel, and having to come up questions (and their answers) is a good way to do that. It forces me to think of questions that might get asked, and then ensure I know the answer (usually by thinking about it first, and then researching to make sure I've got the right answer). <BR/><BR/>So far it's been helping, as it's taken my mind in some interesting directions (leading to research in areas I might not have done otherwise).<BR/><BR/>As far as someone else asking <I>me</I> questions, all I meant with that remark was that, if someone wanted to look up some obscure fact and then quiz me on it, that'd be cool. Suppose you got looking at old <B>Avengers</B> covers, for example, and that triggered a bit of trivia... lay it on me!

However, for the purposes of our <I>Silver Age Trivia Panel</I>, one person (<B>Comic Buyers Guide</B> columnist Craig Shutt) sets the rules, and he defines the range as being exactly what you said: <B>Showcase</B> # 4 (1st Barry Allen Flash) through <B>Fantastic Four</B> # 101, the last Lee/Kirby issue.Kimota94 aka Matt aka AgileManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404161474780005815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35361300.post-53441924097501290942007-07-19T12:58:00.000-04:002007-07-19T12:58:00.000-04:00nix the last sentence and replace it with 'I don't...nix the last sentence and replace it with 'I don't think there is anyone reading your Blog who has the silver age background to answer the questions without cheating.

The start of the silver age is Showcase #4 *I think*. what is generally considered the end? <BR/><BR/>Last Lee/Kirby FF? <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>I think that generally there is really no one here who could answer them without cheating.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
