LOL We bought up all those great B & W mags, only SSoConan we didn't. Because the local mag stores would sell them to us. Sigh!

I love 'em both, but I have to say the world-jumping, swash-buckling, Claremont/Byrne story still gets the edge from me. It did, after all, give us one of the most amazing and original (for comics) characters ever.

Steve Gan gets kind of forgotten about but he really was just a great, classic storyteller with a beautifully accessible style.( Kind of Krenkel or Williamson with flashes of Wrightson ) In my world, Gan & Englehart went on to do Star-Lord for years. Sorry, Groovy One, but that Claremont / Byrne version was a structural mess rescued by great art and not a patch on this story.pete doreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004574271734256770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-72438686651113355762012-01-25T16:57:36.798-05:002012-01-25T16:57:36.798-05:00Wonderful art!
