I guess it wouldn't have rolled off the tongue as well if it had been named, say, "Combat Smith." :)<br /><br />Someday I'll have to break down and do a post on that issue of <i>Sub-Mariner</i> (where he battles Thor) if someone doesn't beat me to it. That issue was absolutely cringe-worthy.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-13865832861163084532013-01-11T18:08:11.156-05:002013-01-11T18:08:11.156-05:00Very solid, rather than spectacular offering.
Make...Very solid, rather than spectacular offering.<br />Makes me think of two things<br />1. I always look to see who the artists are, they the writers. The current notion of writers as the stars of comics is just plain odd.<br />2. Interesting to see that with the variety of artists represented they all used the convention of making sure the title characters were prominently displayed on their splash pages. Perhaps just in case we might be confused about whom the comic was about.Gary Warehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007830811200430012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-74901368082785002802013-01-11T16:39:58.471-05:002013-01-11T16:39:58.471-05:00Dig right in, Bud!

By great talent, it was a small miracle I raised all the $$ I did back then. To beable to buy almost every monthly title!
