Later my cousins introduced me to 2000AD and thus Judge Dread, Rogue Trooper and Nemesis the Warlock. My preference however was for reading Tarzan novels, Greek, Norse and Polynesian Hero Myth and dads Phantom ~ The Ghost Who Walks comics.Nonetheless, the point I think is that everyone has different taste - you don't like superheroes, I still find war movies depressing but happen to like 'Hero' stories.Hey! Bill Bixbys Incredible Hulk had some great social commentary in David Banners struggles to find his cure (don't make me angry Mr Mcgee, you wont like me when I'm angry) and its not like villain of the week isnt still the basic formula of TV 'action' showsAnyway my family loved The Incredible Hulk and Lynda Carters Wonder Women, Christopher Reeves Superman, and the Greatest American Hero, Automan, Knightrider, CHiPS, the Dukes of Hazard and all those 70/80s offerings from the US.</blockquote>
