But... wacky as it is, you gotta love the Atlas stuff. No, really.<BR/><BR/>An even more extreme revamp that Phoenix was the third issue of The Scorpion, which turned a 30's adventurer into a modern-day rip off of Spider-Man!<BR/><BR/>And then there was Morlock, which had Steve Ditko inked by Bernie Wrightson!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-63050016643750138262009-02-03T17:12:00.000-05:002009-02-03T17:12:00.000-05:00Phoenix got four issues, which was as many as any ...Phoenix got four issues, which was as many as any of the Atlas-Seaboard comics.
