Also, all those "big hits" of The Cars never got so high in the charts in the US which is weird given the extensive airplay on the radio, frat parties, etc.<br /><br />Charlie loved the first album too except for that one song on the first side "I'm in touch with your world" that really killed the pace / beat of that side. He says it was a clunker and should not have been there. The chix would stop dancing when that dog came on.<br /><br />I got to see them at Purdue. Quite the show.

I had a drawing board and a T-square and I was practicing up to be a comic book artist.<br />I was big into Kirby and Buscema, but I liked Starlin and Byrne too.<br />You know what's hard to draw? Buildings. How do those guys draw New York City? I dunno. Buscema hated drawing buildings. "Just give me Conan and leave me alone." <br />I don't think I woulda been any good at it, but what stopped me is that I couldn't imagine a way to come up with the money.<br />Ironically, I eventually ended up in New Jersey anyway, for two fun-filled months courtesy of Uncle Sam.<br />The "Garden State" my ass!

A pity he didn't, as his short stint - leading into a Tomb of Dracula crossover - was ok (not something you can usually say about Wolfman's work, but Marvel-style horror seems to have bought out the best in him).<br /><br />Anyhow, interesting review Steve, as I always assumed the comic's less than stellar reputation was down to the Moench/Perlin run. Mainly because I read the ones with Dr Glitternight, which really stand out as some of the poorest Marvel comics of the 70s (and its not like there isn't a fair bit of competition), while most of the earlier issues at least have Mike Ploog.<br /><br />-sean<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-30079339344254748432019-09-15T20:36:36.881+01:002019-09-15T20:36:36.881+01:00Their really aren't that many Gil Kane covers ...Their really aren't that many Gil Kane covers that had nostril overload.
