OK, I'll Admit That I Like...

Doug: Since the Internet is this wonderful corner of anonymity in most of our lives, it's just a heckuva lot easier to bare one's soul with no fear of recourse. Legal or otherwise, I suppose... Anyway, today let's discuss anything you've harbored a secret appreciation of -- shoot, it could be an all-out love affair if you want to go there. To make it a little easier on you, since after all we are in the company of sympathetic folks who share your love, of... well, geeky things, you can tell a tale of a time past when you were in the outcrowd on a particular subject.

Doug: Here's an example. I don't know if it ever would have been all that chic to say that one really, really liked Superbaby stories. But I did. Somehow at one point I came into a decent-sized stack of Silver Age Superboy comics. All of them predated the Legion's run in the title. If memory serves, there were 2-3 books that included a Superbaby tale. In fact, if you click here you can see one I reviewed many moons ago on this very blog. I thought those stories were cute! I have always preferred the "stories of Superman when he was a boy!" to contemporary tales of the Man of Steel. So what would be a better extension than of seeing lil' Clark in action? Hey, complete with a cape to go with that blue onesie! And I cannot imagine that I ever would have divulged this secret "like" to the fellas on the playground. And certainly not to the girls!

Doug: Do you have a character, a television program, or a musical act that you've long taken a shine to, even when that might have gone against the popular grain? Share all you want, people!
