Too, they almost got John Buscema. In any case, they advertised Englehart's presence quite a bit. He was only contracted to do so many stories in a year's time and then he was leaving the world of comic books to travel in Europe and write his first novel, Point Man. So, yeah, they probably didn't want anyone to think that Englehart's Starfire was a permanent thing.

Wasn't pretty much every writer on Starfire a fill-in?Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.com
