[net.comics] Comic Reader Poll

armstron@sjuvax.UUCP (01/17/84)

	Before I start, let me first say, if anyone has a flame to this idea,
please submit it directly to me.  Don't bother other people on the net.

	Now, let's get onto business.  I have recently become curios as to how
my particular taste in comics matches up with readers on the net, and more
precisely, with comic readers in general.  So, if anyone else has similar
desires, let me now invite you to join into the...

			**************************
			* NET.COMICS READER POLL *
			**************************

Please send all responses directly to me (preferably by the end of January), 
and I will post the results as soon as possible.

	Please answer the following questions with either 1, 2, or 3 answers
for each. (The choice of number of answers for each question is yours.  The 
first choice will get 3 points, second 2 points, and third 1 point.)  Winners
and favorites will be tabulated accordingly.






1.  What is your favorite title (of course)
2.  Who is your favorite artist.
3.  Who is your favortie writer.
4.  What is your favorite team / group
5.  Who is your favorite male character
6.  Who is your favorite female character.

	Thanks in advance....

	Apparently, I missed the original posting calling for a comic reader
poll. I'm not sure what the rules are, but I'll go by the categories that
Nigel the Voluminous used. I'll assume that since he listed three choices in
each category (most of them, anyway), that the poll requests three.

	Best Title: AMERICAN FLAGG!, THOR, CEREBUS
	Best Writer: Alan Moore, Howie Chaykin, Dave Sim
	Best Penciller: Walt Simonson, Howie Chaykin, Dave Stevens
	Best Inker: Terry Austin, Tom Palmer, Dick Giordano
	Best Group: Teen Titans, Legion of S.H., X-Men
	Best Male Character: Reuben Flagg, Jon Sable, The Masked Man
	Best Female Character: Wonder Girl, Ms. Tree, Kitty Pryde (well *I* like her!)

	Plus, here are some other categories I'll submit:

	Best Reprint Title: MANHUNTER, THE SPIRIT, STEVE CANYON
	Best "Back Feature": "The Rocketeer", "Marvelman", "Grimjack"
		[Since the Rocketeer doesn't have his own book, I consider it a
		 back feature. also, let it be known that "The Masked Man" comes
		 in a very close fourth.]
	Best Graphic Novel [so far]: THE STAR SLAMMERS, THE X-MEN, THE DEATH OF
		CAPTAIN MARVEL

	In a following posting, I'll submit my choices for Best of 1983.

	O.K., O.K., I think its pretty safe to assume that just about every
one has their answers in.  So as soon as I can I'll run all the balots
over to Price - Waterhouse and have them tabulate the results.  They 
sould be posted in a matter of days.
