You won't see that in an Avengers movie.<br /><br />I liked that Conan story since it introduced Tara the acrobat, very briefly Conan's squire and one of my favourite Hyborian supporting cast. The other comics look poor, although my brother was smitten with Gaard, the space hockey player.Dougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965448821892833703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-86657054092211908812015-07-09T15:58:38.541+01:002015-07-09T15:58:38.541+01:00Colin, Sean, MP and Paul, thanks for all the info....Colin, Sean, MP and Paul, thanks for all the info.

Still, I kinda liked his super-powered goon, the Alchemoid. His main power was being pug-ugly and emitting a burning, corrosive slime from his hide. Barely even a super-power, more like just being really unpleasant.<br />"The Assault of the Alchemoid!"<br />m.p.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-79410286843456618662015-07-09T02:40:16.164+01:002015-07-09T02:40:16.164+01:00I'm pretty sure that FF is when the mag went a...I'm pretty sure that FF is when the mag went a bit DC, with alternate earths and whatnot. I just mention it, Steve, because its the start of the storyline with the outer-space ice-hockey goalie you were asking about in this feature recently.<br />Not sure exactly which issue off hand, but thought you might appreciate the heads up - keep asking about him in the next few Forty Years Ago posts and you'll be right at some point.<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-66660750435416827292015-07-08T22:41:06.436+01:002015-07-08T22:41:06.436+01:00That Fantastic Four cover looked rather familiar a...That Fantastic Four cover looked rather familiar and a bit of googling reveals it was also the cover of Marvel UK's Complete FF No.27 in March 1978 - but the Thing's last word bubble is changed from "..and I'm gonna make Hank Aaron look like a little leaguer" to "..and it'll be clobberin' time" obviously because us British readers didn't have a clue who Hank Aaron was or what a little leaguer was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
