Thus the reason for "wrong" in quotes. I still pick up SA Detective comics with the Manhunter series but not the others. As a kid I would sometimes resent a back-up taking away from the main character but when I think about it then I realize it was a smart move with Detective being a good example. Even a back-up feature that I may not have liked it may have been the reason someone else bought the book.

I tend to like quirky, obscure characters so I'm sure I've done this a lot.

The most recent example would be some issues of Amazing Man Comics I've been downloading from the site here. Couldn't care less about A-Man, I'm intrigued by the Minimidget! Shrinking heroes have always been a favorite of mine and from what I've read, this guy was the first one in comics. Had to check out his stories.

Rajah I like Centaur comics in general because of their quircky characters. But I am the opposite of you in terms of shrinking characters. They are some of my least favorite. That is what makes the world go around and this site has something for everyone.

Fair enough. I enjoy characters of different sizes in general (as my Rowena stories over at AC Comics attest). I guess shrinking heroes remind me of classic fairy tales like Tom Thumb and Thumbelina. The "little person vs. a big world" is a scenario that I find fascinating.

If Centaur has quirky characters though, I may have to check out some of their other books.

While I am not a mini hero fan I am a big Rowena fan. I originally resented the idea of Gargantarama taking Femforce pages but came to like it just as much and sometimes more. You have to check out Mighty Man who has size changing and other powers. From Iron Skull to Speed Centaur books from Centaur are quirky in general.

So, Dream Girl struck your fancy more than Shrinking Violet, aye?
