Marvel-ous Monday: "Armageddon...At Last!" by Wolfman, Kane, and Nebres

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! "Armageddon...At Last!" (from Warlord of Mars #9, November 1977) is the penultimate chapter in Marv Wolfman, Gil Kane, and Rudy Nebres' "Air Pirates of Mars" saga. As the cover promises, this ish (as were most issues of Warlord of Mars) is filled nearly to the brim with action and excitement. Of course, there is more intrigue and tragedy to go along with the rapid-paced proceedings--but what else would a Marvelite expect? 

Marvel-ous Mondays: "Dejah Thoris Lives!" by Wolfman, Kane, and Sutton

What's shakin', Groove-ophiles! Today we're back with another chapter of Marv Wofman and Gil Kane's "Air Pirates of Mars" epic! For "Dejah Thoris Lives!" our powerhouse pair was joined by inker Tom Sutton, who happens to be one of Ol' Groove's fave Charlton artists as well as one of the top five (imho) Gil Kane inkers of the Groovy Age. The mostly misleading cover was inked by Rudy Nebres, btw, but it's such a cool image I can't blame Marvel for using it, even though it makes it look as if John Carter is rescuing Dejah Thoris, when she'd actually extracted her own lovely self from captivity and JC just helped her with the clean-up in the story's last couple'a pages (he had actually spent almost the entirety of ish --#7, September 1977--in a sick-bed). Wanna see the Princess of Barsoom in action? Then, let's goooooo....
