I'm thinking it was to do with the Dr Doom portion not tickling my taste buds. No chance you will show that portion???

Herb's style was fine at the time...were they expecting Barry to be back next issue, and wanted to maintain some sort of visual consistency? (A check shows that Barry did come back, but only for two non-consecutive issues). Never happened before or since that I'm aware of...at any rate, I shouldn't be grumpy because I quite liked it (first exposure to Ka-Zar and all).B Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618583443442543086noreply@blogger.com
