At first appearance The Sentry seems simple. Robbie Reynolds drinks the professor's super serum and gains the energy of 1000 exploding suns. He's the Golden Guardian of Good and his nemesis is the Void. Pretty simple. The simplicity is part of the appeal. Isn't that what comics are for?
But the Sentry is anything but simple.
The suspense builds. It builds and builds and then it builds some more. What's his secret? I can't tell you; you'll have to read it for yourself. The characters talk in riddles twisting the knife in your back as the suspense becomes overwhelming.
The flashbacks have artwork and color characteristic of the 1930s. Another part of the appeal.
When at last the secret is revealed, it makes you think. How in the world could a cartoon as juvenile as The Sentry make you think? Again, that's what makes him so charming!
New issues of The Sentry are still coming in year 2024.
I'm a reasonable guy. If I loved it, odds are good you will too.

Oh, I forgot the most important tip of all!
Marvel Unlimited gives you 30,000 comic books for
$9.99 a month. It's an app for your phone.
I don't work for Marvel Unlimited and non of my relatives do either. This is not a promotion. Just a recommendation from an ordinary fan like me.

I'm not sure I understand your reference. Forgive me
Are you suggesting a Google search leading to comic sites?
If so thank you. It'll take me time for me to explore.
I saw some promising sites
I studied the Rules of Moderation for this forum and there's nothing preventing us from comparing notes on what we discover
Please educate me more on what you originally meant
By the way,
DC Universe Infinite
and
WebToon
are 2 more apps that are guaranteed not to disappoint
When I get off work tonight, I'll do some more research

While we're at it, some things I desire but prove elusive are:
Conan the Barbarian
John Carter: Warlord of Mars
Tarzan
Millie the Model (one of my guilty pleasures; it's very funny)

I have a sneaking feeling that the Robert E. Howard estate never released the rights to Conan and the same is true for Edgar Rice Burroughs and his Tarzan, John Carter. It's only a guess but it's a good guess.
You can get Conan graphic novels that collect issue runs for about $40 or at worst $125. It's somewhat pricey but not altogether out of reach.
Millie the Model is another story. She was never really a part of the Marvel Universe (obviously) and the only exposure I've ever had to her was scattered wise cracks by Stan Lee in the Bullpen Bulletins page. In fact, I've never held Millie the Model in my hands as ink on paper in my life.
Alas, these stories may very well be limited to rich people.
Marvel Unlimited does have a half a dozen issues of Millie the Model and take my word for it they're funny as hell. It's really a humor comic though at times it concentrated on high-society fashion of the 60s.
You don't see me complaining. We in this internet age have access to so much, more than I ever dared imagine, that I'm not going to be greedy.
But, I put out a call for anyone out there who knows where these might be accessible.

Dark Horse Comics published Conan from 2003 to 2018, when the rights were reacquired by Marvel Comics. Marvel published Conan comics until 2022, when Titan Comics took over the license (through Heroic Signatures) to begin publishing its own series.

I should clarify kav
The comics I mentioned aren't on Marvel Unlimited and I'm just getting my sea legs with venturing out in other parts of the Internet
In a few days, thanks to your nudge, I may very well get what I want (and more)
I'll return to this thread to report on my success or lack thereof
At the moment I have encountered technical glitches that must be overcome and I really just started and haven't explored much yet

Wow! You're correct kav
Let me put in a plug for comiconlinefree.com
I moved from my tablet to my laptop and that's a better experience
This is just the tip of the iceberg
