I like to think the Second Doctor dropped it on Melnibone, running for the Tardis.<br />"Look at the size of that, Doctor!"<br />"Yes, Jamie, it is a big one, isn't it?"<br /><br />In fact, I like that Elric story so much, I bought the reprint with the (redrawn) Kirby cover.<br /><br />I am unsure whether the FF story in MWOM is about Ronan or Him.<br />The Thor reprint is the Mangog saga, IIRC.

Barry Smith's approach is well suited to it - more so than Howard - and he suddenly got so much better with Hawks from the Sea. As it is, that Elric story is a bit of a disappointment.<br /><br />And - how many favourite Hulk tales have you got, Steve?<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
