One was about the N'Garai, the other had a blind female terrorist and a computerised building, I think. Both set in Britain.Dougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965448821892833703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-9470361654534714162015-01-24T00:43:20.585+00:002015-01-24T00:43:20.585+00:00John, I'm afraid the whole thing's a blank...John, I'm afraid the whole thing's a blank for me.

I don't remember any Gene Colan in it only Don Heck and I'd always thought that the whole book featured just one story drawn by him. I'd also thought that the story was set on a ship but since the internet's come along I think that I probably confused that with a Spider-Man story featuring Dracula on a ship.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
