Well put.... Without re-posting my "Comics are better than ever" harang,
because there is some well-written entertainment out there -- with the
exception of St. Elsewhere and Hill Street Blues, I'd give you the opinion
that the average comic book I read is wittier, and better written, than any
entertainment program on TV (and that includes most Masterpiece theatre
episodes (which have been going downhill lately anyway)).  For the list I
read, see the self-same article mentioned above.

Oh, conversely: If SECRET WARS was any good, we wouldn't have the great fun
of kicking it all over the bar room floor...
