That was also the third and final Drac Lies I would read for many a year: too dark and brutal!<br /><br />Checked BBC Genome: no sign of Q and the Pit on Xmas Eve. But my earliest memories of it probably come from around the same time. I'm guessing around Nov/ early Dec but I'll check on another day.Dougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965448821892833703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-63086069433780920622014-12-16T13:32:04.755+00:002014-12-16T13:32:04.755+00:00One of my favourite early John Buscema covers, tha...One of my favourite early John Buscema covers, that Avengers one.

I forgot to say in my comment that the cover of POTA (and inside) features a scene that's not in the film - if I had owned this comic I'd have wondered where that scene was when I finally got to see the film in 1977.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-64169615378686243712014-12-15T17:57:26.456+00:002014-12-15T17:57:26.456+00:00I wish I could claim to have such memories of Chri...I wish I could claim to have such memories of Christmas 1974 but I don't think I have any.

After 3 weeks of reading POTA, disaster - No.8 never came into the newsagent where it was on order - I don't know why we just didn't get a replacement copy from WH Smith's. It still irks me that I didn't get this issue especially as I had every single issue of boring bloody Apeslayer. This was also the time I was forced to miss the class Christmas party due to illness so no POTA and no party :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-77967010206082435012014-12-14T22:29:12.833+00:002014-12-14T22:29:12.833+00:00I've got a letter in that issue of POTA.
