Boy that was a rough few weeks…

The popular Mike’s Amazing World website — the indispensable repository of historical comic-book information — is finally back in action after a weeks-long layoff.

The situation had sent fans of comics history into a bit of a tizzy when it went offline mysteriously in October. It turned out that it was related to the the PHP havoc that tore through the internet last month.

The operators of the site have been working since to get the site up and running. For weeks, readers were greeted with an alarming message that read, “Sorry, you have been blocked.”

By Friday morning, the site was back to verifying if users were human — before sending them to a screen that read, “Site temporarily offline for maintenance. Check back for updates…”

Finally, it was fully restored by Tuesday.

Long may it stand.
