The regular series was pretty bad - of course, so we X-Factor and New Universe. What Roger Stern managed to capture in the mini-series really seemed to be a one-shot thing (and Steve Englehart's writing on the ongoing series seemed especially contrived and stilted). I might be up for a "vintage pop" contribution, although what comics and strips I'm a fan of from that era have been pretty well covered in other venues (Roy Thomas' meticulous documenting of the Justice Society, and the various comic strip reprints of the last 15 years). So I'm not sure how much I'd have to contribute. Gee, you’re right, the WCA mini-series came out at the end of 1984!

It's solidly mid-eighties, and the main series feels very much late 1980s to me. (Right or wrong, I associate it with X-Factor and New Universe, and all that tripe.) Hey -- I'm thinking seriously of starting my "vintage pop" blog, or a blog devoted to comics and comic strips pre-Silver Age. Interested in doing a guest post now an then?
