Brice Van Der Volgen	Heya, Thanks for the great site! I'm a chem major in my third year now and I'm considering going into teaching. This site would be a fantastic place to help make chemistry fun for students. Please keep up the site so that everyone will be able to enjoy it for a long time to come! Feel free to e-mail me if you desire, thanks again!!
Amber Wyman	I haven't looked at it enough to have a favorite, but everything I've looked at is great! What an excellent idea... keep it up! I like the periodic table format for selecting elements, don't change it to an alphabetical list.
Steven O'reilly	None of the site was any good, and I thought that who ever made up this site was out of there head it was absolute rubbish.
John Montero	I really appreciate all the work that went into the creation of this site. It was nice to see so much attention paid to the older comics of my youth (you know, the ones that are boxed up in my attic and are harder to get to than the Ark of the Covenant). I e-mailed your site to a bunch of co-workers and friends (we do plastic research here) and even to my comic book shop and a comic book writer I know and everyone enjoyed the site. Again, thanks for all the effort. I really enjoyed it.
David Hanks	Very cool site. As a minor suggestion, I would resync the author morphing by 180 degrees, so that one author is morphed when the other is not (it seems to me that it'll have better catchability, just a guess). The other suggestion is to reference 'ARGON ZORK' in your database. It's a good online comic book. Very ascerbic look at the internet wars. The METAL MEN were around when I was in my preteens (optimum comic interface time of life) and I thought they were great, along with daredevil,spiderman and Magnus-robot-fighter. Oh yeah, the address is WWW.ZARK.COM. Well, keep it up. Most excellent site.
Steven Bergson	I really loved the use of the Metal Men right at the main page. Though, it would also have been appropriate (perhaps, more so) to use the image of LSH's Element Lad. I really like these ... in Comics lists / sites. Of course, I'm a bit biased since I have one myself. I wish I'd known about the site when I was doing my Science in the JLA paper in university. I haven't looked completely at your listings, but you're missing at least one comic for Oxygen. I remember it VERY well, because it introduced me to the idea of elements years before I'd even known what an element was. JLA (1st series) #179-180 - Batman solves the fires-all-over-the-world mystery when he realizes that the world's water atoms are being split up, resulting in an excess of Oxygen. I also recall the first adventure in Saga of the Swamp Thing, where Floronic Man sadistically kills people in their own homes by enclosing them with plants and then commanding the plants to super-produce Oxygen (causing massive fires). FM then plans to cause the whole planet to overproduce oxygen until Swamp Thing points out that without animals / humans, the plants will not have the oxygen they produce turned back into needed nitrogen. I'll need to research some more to come up with others. I'm sure Firestorm appearances will have some. Please drop by my page. Speaking of which, you left no room in the form above for URLs. Mine is http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/5756/JWISHC.HTM
Robert Jackson	My personal favourite bit is the comics, as I am a beginner on the internet. I'm very lucky to find your site, as it is a very good site. There are lots of pictures I can use as in a comic (I save them in my own PC; hope you don't mind) I hope you will keep it up and produce some more thing like that. I'll be constantly on the move to check your web site out. My last comment is to update your site more freqently. Thank You!!!
Don DeGracia	Whole site is brilliant. It is this kind of eclectic intellectualism that the web medium fosters. Good job!!
Michael Loy	I myself liked the neon comic strip the best. It was interesting and it was easy to read (like all comic books are)and it made sense. I enjoyed looking at the site. It doesn't mean that I'm going to like Chemistry now, but it was interesting and quite easy look around on this page. It's good that someone would take the time to do something creative (like comic strips) to help people maybe understand chemistry a lot better than just a boring lecture in the classroom. Thanks again.
Mark Kolmogoroff	I liked it very much. Nice job on the research about elements and comics. Great idea to learn and have fun. Keep on it.
Ruth Leonard	As a former high school chemistry teacher I see this as a very valuable site. The url was published in Chem13 News so I hope many others will soon be hitting this site.
Lance Nathan	Well, truth be told, because I'm over a (28.8) modem, I didn't really look at everything yet. (That's tomorrow when I'm back in the ethernetted computer center.) But I liked what I saw, and I'm amused by the concept, and intrigued by the comics––ok, I'm not a heavy-duty comics reader, I've read Watchmen and V for Vendetta, and Sandman; and I read Strangers in Paradise, and that's about the extent of it. So it's sort of nice to see all these older things, although...well, see the next comment. Some things I think I might like to see... First, it'd be nice to have a place to possibly submit comics you might have missed. (Unless you don't want more than you have, since it's a pretty large page as it stands.) But even with limited knowledge, I was thinking of some comics (the Sandman issue #20, "Facade," for instance, which mentions magnesium and nitrogen, among others) that didn't get included. Second, the description of "Watchmen" off the hydrogen page was nice to have (of course, I knew what Watchmen was, but if I hadn't...); will the rest of the comics have such descriptions? (Or do they already, and I missed them by clicking 'stop' out of modem-induced impatience?) Anyway, peachy keen pages!
Curt Eskridge	The links to the classic comics are great. I am an old Metal Men fan from way back. It is great to see all the classic art although I did not find anything from the seventies Comics. The Simonson art was super. There is a great picture of Tina that I was sure that would be here from that series. It would be nice to link the qualities of the elements to story elements when possible. The ductility of Gold and Platinum are well demonstrated in Metal Men comics. Perhaps a square from a standard Periodic table on each page would help strengthen the connection.
Libor Novacek	Only one word. Great work! It was two, I know :-)
Craig Markley	I enjoyed the periodic table and selecting an element and finding out that it has been used in comics—Great resource! An excellent way to get people interested in chemistry. Many people find science to intimidating because there seems to be alot to "memorize". This site would be a good learning tool because it gives a scientific and entertaining quality to the PTo/tE. My only complaint is that I could not read the scanned pages of the comics. Also, it's a shame that Marvel/DC doesn't have these classic comics in trade-paperback form.
Karen Gold	I like it all, though in a few cases, the relationship of the comic to the element or chemistry is hard to figure out. I just looked at the historical page showing the baby Kal-El landing in his rocket and being taken in by the Kents. I guess that's because he's from the planet Krypton, but you'd be amazed how many people don't know that.
Andrew	I was doing my chemistry report on Phosphorous, (oh by the way in one of the frames you mispelled phosphorous) and a happen to stumble on your site. I loved the way you tie together comic characters with kinda dull stuff like the elements. Hopefully, because of your pics a can get a badly needed A on my report.
Jennifer Blevins	I teach fifth grade and do a unit on elements every year. I was delighted to see your web page because I feel the students will get much more out of the cartoon aspect than I could ever cover in my unit. I am now trying to incorporate a link somehow with your site so my students will be able to find the elements and have a more meaningful experience with the element unit than ever before!
Sarah McCartt	I love the overall feeling that this site offers to embrace Chemistry. It gives students a closer look into the reality of elements rather than just rocks in books.
Allan Kasprzak	I found this site to be one of the most enjoyable ones that I have encountered. It's funny but the comics that I mostly enjoyed now as well as when I was young were the ones that dealt with the elements. The Metal Men, Metamorpho, Element Lad of the Legion of Super-Heroes, and the like were some of my favorites and as weird as it sounds (especially in my youthful days) allowed me to apply what I learned in basic chemistry to what the heroes' actions were. I have quite an extensive collection of comic books and would be more than happy to assist you in any way that you might need. For the time that I was accessing your site, I did see some serious ommissions of some elements. The Cobalt Man in the very first X-Men series, Uranium (an enemy of the Metal Men and even the Atom in the early Brave and the Bold), and such are, gasp, missing. Great site and keep up the good work. Also please keep in mind that I am but a short e-mail message away if you need any assistance. Thanks for making me feel like a kid again.
Geoff Haacke	I liked the interactive periodic table and the history of chemistry of comics the best!!!
Xi Pincher	I really like the list of appearances by the various elements. Have you considered doing a comic book about the elements (I mean a story about people who can or are transformed into elements with associated abilities and weaknesses)??
Neil Allison	Pretty cool page.
Jason Tucker	I have to say that this is one of the most inventive sites I've ever seen. Congratulations to both of you on an amazing and innovative job! By the way, In addition to the red liquid guy, have you considered putting Sailor Mercury from "Sailor Moon"on your Hg listing?
Jim Fannin	What a great idea! The kids in my high school chem class love it and so do I!
Maureen	My son is home schooled and we are doing a quick intro into Biology, Chemistry and Physics this year. The Periodic Table came up in his chemistry section and I wanted him to explore it more which is how I came across your site. I've already shared it with other comic hero oriented kids. I especially like the History of the Chemistry in the Comics. My son and his friends are all into Overpower, X-men and related-type stuff. But, alas, a hard copy would have suited our needs better. It would have made a nice reference. Thanks tho for the interesting site.
Mel Larsen	I think your approach is great. Get those young minds to relate, connect, and transfer to reality. The best to both of you in the furthering of education of our youth!
Twoey Clarke	Because something on your page is so outstandingly cool, I would like to make a link to your page from my own page.
Margo Allen	Checked out your Comic Book Periodic Table site and it's great. I plan to add a link from the Girls Incorporated of Orange County Web site.
Laura	It's a pretty site folks, it'd go great on a CD-ROM, but it takes forever to load. it took me a couple of minutes, and I think I'm running at 33K, or whatever AOL's fastest speed is since I have a 56K modem, but I know lots of people are still on a 14,400 one and I remember how slow that was. Why on earth have you got so many animated gifs on the front page? Sorry, sorry, all negative I know, but a lot of people I know on AOL don't have a browser capable of displaying them. Just a thought, a lovely site though...
Gerald Maxwell	I just visited your chemistry as related to comics site. Very good, informative and entertaining. More instructors should follow your example of having fun while learning.
Misha	Hey, there's a lot of fun to be found at a site like this ... although I take exception to Platinum being the femme at the top of the page. I actually wanted to see what you guys had done with element 99, I figured 'ol Albert's namesake would have provided a giggle, but alas, the "item was not found" message appeared and I felt saddened. I don't know if you have anything for Einsteinium (spelling??) or not, but, if you do, it ain't working on your page, and if you don't, I'll check back again sometime to find out if there have been developments.
Jerry B. Piper	Although the message that sent me to your site criticizes using comic book characters to teach the periodic table I think it's a great idea. Being a chemist I am grateful to see the periodic table presented to the public through whatever forum gets their attention. Thank you.
Suzanne Mead	I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU!!! for your "chemical comic book" I am a senior in high school and I am doing a really huge report on synthetic elements for my chemistry class... One of the pages has to include a graphic, so I ran across the problem of finding a picture of something that has no known use... then I found The Comic Book Periodic Table... and it has made my day!!!! Thank you so much... You rock!
Mary J. Slaughter	As an 8th grade physical science teacher I found your web site unique and am interested in the comic book(s).
Barbara Tinker	I was at first enchanted by the idea of a comic book presentation of the Periodic Table. I didn't get beyond the lead characters, however — six guys and a lady named Platinum. If you wait long enough, some women's faces, 2 others appear in a revolving set that features about 12 guys, excluding the robots etc. and even excluding the male Donald Duck. One of those two women is in obvious need for help/rescue. It is depressing and discouraging to see so little generosity operating in artists teaching science. Family site of the day; really!
Emilie Smart	I found your site today via Yahoo and was impressed not only with the idea, but with the fact that someone other than myself has heard of Metal Men!! I LOVED that comics series — I had a subscription in elementary school and read them all cover-to-cover many times over. Boy, was I surprised to see them again on a web site about the periodic table. I'm teaching an internet class Monday to some teenagers. I'm going to show them your site—I think they'll enjoy it. Thanks for making my afternoon!
Jason Fliegel	I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that I absolutely love your Periodic Table site, and to alert you to a newspaper article about it. I saw it in the "KidNews" supplement to the Chicago Tribune, but it was part of a syndicated column—www.4kids.org—that appears in newspaper supplements across the country. I can't seem to find a copy of the article at their web site, but I do see that the supplement appears in the Lexington Herald-Leader, so you might want to check that out (if you haven't already seen it). And once again, you guys have put together a fantastic site! Keep up the good work!
David Oroshnik	In or around 4th grade I learned, from a metal men comic book, that the symbol for gold was Au, from the Latin root Aurum. It's stuck with me since. Of course, from this I was able to enjoy the humor in name of the famous James Bond villain, 'Auric' Goldfinger. This site brought back some very fond memories. Thanks for putting it up, it's great!
Dottye Gilmore Anderson	I really like your web page. The elemental characters remind me of a comic book I used to read when I was a little girl in the 60's. Now I wish I were still teaching High School Chemistry - what a great resource to get students interested!
Lanianne Lao	Hi! I'm Lanianne Lao, 15 years old, from the Philippines. I came across your "comic page" and I thought it was really cool. I'm doing a report on Silicon now and I just want to let you both know that I can have the highest grade because of you guys. Thank you! Keep it up! :)
Sarah Davis	I would love to use a few of the comics you highlight on your web site with my middle school chemistry class. ... Thanks!!
Marion Carson	I just finished revisiting your site which I really enjoy. I think my students this fall will enjoy looking at it if we have access to the internet at the new school where I will be teaching. ... Keep up the good work on the site ... I like it!!!
Christopher A. Shields	I studied to be an Art Teacher, and I see some of your site as a great way to get kids thinking of Science in a new and fun way .... my hat's off to you gentleman. BTW I really like the morphing of the pictures at the bottom of the front page.
Al Kirsch	Just stopped by to see what you had; looks like your freshmen can't or won't—don't, in any event— read, any more than mine do. Sigh ... Keep up the good work, though. I'll pass the URL on to my kids in the Fall.
Tom Sweetman	This is the reason that the internet was invented. A wondrous page. Many thanks.
Lauren Pikna	Hi! I just got finished looking at your web site. I love your page! Chemistry is just a great subject! I have one question for you. Today in physical science class, my teacher asked the class a riddle. The riddle is, "What do you call a test tube with it's own college degree?" ... Just happened to come look at your web page. Keep up the great work; it looks wonderful!
Brice Yokem	Love this!!!! [The Comic Book Periodic Table] There is an issue of Dr. Solar Man of the Atom having to do with his powers transmuting elements up one atomic number. This would enhance your web page too.
Linda Hill	The page didn't stimulate my interest in chemistry, because I'm already pretty interested in it. I am hoping to use it to stimulate the interest of my students, however. It is great!
Ed Murray	I found the site through a discussion group. I bookmarked the site for my kids going into junior high and high school. This is an excellent site for generating interest and understanding. Obviously done by someone very talented in the art educating people. I'm not always easily impressed but this site is super. The concept is great and I think it could be easily marketed to any school system! A million dollar idea.
Aviroop Biswas	My favourite page or feature is the history page. I think the Comic Book Periodic Table is simply fantastic but could be better if it had more information.
Stephanie Leach	This is a very clever and original page. It is quite a refreshing web site for those who have an interest in chemistry as well as comic illustrations. This site is brilliant!
Csilla Incze	My favorite page is the listings of all the subtitles, where you can easily access specific information. I use this site to do my AP chemistry homework!!!!!
Arthur Rizzotto	I thought the whole site was a lot of fun. I gave this site address to all of my science teachers. I major in science. I'm in 7th grade and I have two science periods a day. I hope to work for NASA someday as a scientist.
Ryan Cowder	I enjoyed the home page for the simple fact that one is able to pick which element they are interested in and can learn fairly quickly about that particular element. I loved looking at the comics, even though I am not into comics all that much. However, I do think that you did a wonderful job incorporating the comics to deal with the chemistry aspects of the page. This is a great informational experience and I am planning on referring my students here in the near future. If my students can relate to comics then through this they will also be able to learn chemistry. Thanks to you, my job has been made easier.
Marvin Castle	As a teacher, I continually look for innovative ways to teach physical science that is meaningful, insightful, and thought provoking as well as stimulating with a long range goal of retention. Browsing the Comic Book Periodic Table has enabled me to be innovative. I can have my students create their own comic book in an interdisciplinary medium. You have provided a solid beginning for myself and my students to obtain ideas and complete a project. This is an excellent web page for students to learn the elements. The Comic Book Periodic Table is highly professional and well done. Thank you.
Tim Wedge	Some of the comic book references are incorrect. For instance, the graphic for the titanium page is from Iron Man Special #1 not Iron Man #1. There are also other element-related comic book references that you don't mention like The Cobalt Man (enemy of Thor and Iron Man) for instance. I really like the site, but it could definitely be expanded by doing some more comic book research.
Josh Bronaugh	As a comic fan and artist, I thought the Metal Men were of exceptional quality. Also, I really liked the nostalgic feel of the comics.
Bob Rozakis	I was impressed with all that I looked at. In my weekly chat room, I ran a set of trivia questions (36 in all) in which the first letter(s) of the answer corresponded to the atomic number of the particular question. [i.e. The first answer began with "H", the second with "He"]
Jason Ward	I thought the entire page was educational and yet entertaining. I especially enjoyed the morphing images of the teachers at the bottom of the pages.
Leah Carnick	I only looked at magnesium because I have to write a paper on it and it is 10:45 at night, so I really did not have the time to look thoroughly through this site. But it was very helpful, especially because I am trying to make my paper comical, so therefore this was obviously a great place to use for research!! I would like to have seen the actual comic rather than just where the element was referenced. It would have been fun to see how it was incorporated into a comic book.
Jason Meyer	As a middle school physical science teacher, I enjoyed the site and have encouraged students to use it for help with homework or studying for a test. It is one of the very few sites available that are both valuable to an educator as well as interesting to students.
