Can I put in a request for the wonderful run by Moench and Mayerik that closed out the series?Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809592629762693427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-3759039055094341142017-01-16T18:45:09.081-05:002017-01-16T18:45:09.081-05:00Been meaning to leave a comment to thank you for t...Been meaning to leave a comment to thank you for these Ka-Zar posts, Groove.<br /><br />I remember those stories so well from the early issues of the British Marvel Planet of the Apes weekly (along with the film adaptations and Gil Kane's Gullivar Jones - what a comic!)<br />Of course that was in black and white, and I have to say in this case the colour makes for quite a difference. Theres something trippy about it - the use of yellow on the splash for instance - that doesn't seem like the work of a standard issue early 70s comic book colourist... any idea if Smith did it himself?<br />Thanks.<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-5260529961199200182017-01-16T12:05:15.411-05:002017-01-16T12:05:15.411-05:00Man, I really need to read these Ka-Zar stories yo...Man, I really need to read these Ka-Zar stories you've been posting.

He's been revived a few times in the age of reprints but I'm not familiar. It's too bad no Essential came out and I can only hope an Epic volume will arrive, which like the Hulk and Silver Surfer gather up his early adventures in X-Men, DD, Spidey, and into Astonishing Tales. Glad to see my "Not-Yet-Windsor" appellation is catching on. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
