I was crazy about it, anyway.<br /><br />Also, the Conan story in the final Avengers issues is "The Last Ballad of Laza-Lanti". It's a prequel in a sense because the eponymous doomed minstrel is the twin brother of Tsotha-Lanti. He, in turn, is an evil wizard-cum-experimenter who imprisons the Cimmerian in "The Scarlet Citadel" ( a King Conan story by REH). "Ballad" is a bit Lovercraftian and Neal Adams and Dick Giordano supply inks.

Those guys bolted out of there faster than Scooby Doo and Shaggy whenever confronted by a guy in a rubber mask.<br />All cats have eerie powers, but familiars who take the form of a cat have SUPER-eerie powers, and should be avoided.<br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-1988736381974782612016-06-30T23:36:14.559+01:002016-06-30T23:36:14.559+01:00Dangermash, Dracula WAS in that issue of POTA &...Dangermash, Dracula WAS in that issue of POTA & Dracula Lives but only for another three weeks then he disappeared from the comic for good. Steve, I totally agree with you about the original X-Men (but Kid Robson liked them - well, somebody had to, eh Kid ?).

He didn't meet the vulture minutes ago he last met him years ago. And he didn't put him behind bars. He crushed the vulture's power pack and the vulture flew off with his tail between his legs while Spidey passed out in the street.

They should have made your wish come true about the X-Men and merged the title straight into MWOM there and then.Crispynevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16162688835912122159noreply@blogger.com
