I've been reading both Marvel and DC's Comics from 1961, month by month. It's been interesting. Looking at styles and just the way the medium evolved over time. Perhaps most interesting to me are some of the coincidences I see along the way.

Case in point: in 1987 DC relaunched the old Charlton character Captain Atom, and Marvel created a villain for Iron Man called the Ghost. The coincidence? The original Captain Atom's greatest adversary was a character called The Ghost. Although there were several differences between the two, they had similar abilities and both were basically saboteurs.

Does anybody on here know anything about the backstory on this?

What's your favorite coincidence?
