I'd have to say that the first series didn't live up to all the hype it was given at the time. (Oddly enough, it was promoted as part of DC's new 'Sword & Sorcery' line of 1974-'75. Remember that?) As for the second series, it was <i>way</i> over the top and off the rails--serving as an apologist for Castro's Cuba in the process.R. W.

It's a great title for a comic.

The "A" resembles the letter from the <i>Avengers</i> masthead, while the rest of the letters are presented in the style of the <i>Fantastic Four</i> title. A very bizarre coincidence, or a nice little sleight of hand. :)Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-33026076119203713612012-09-02T00:46:24.583+01:002012-09-02T00:46:24.583+01:00Steve - you're perverse.

BTW, the blurb on the covers (of the pulp, the comics, and the paperback books) always said it was by "the creator of Doc Savage," but the pulp stories were written by another ghost writer using the same house name.
