And at last, one comic with some lines in a correct Italian.<br />I was a big Marvel fan in the 70's. Loved to see that gun - totin' Deathlok cover again here in your archives. Deathlok was called "Cybernus" in Italy. Nice name, don't you think? Love also the "plop" hint: the series looks quite comedic, though the MM keep on dying.J_D_La_Rue_67https://www.blogger.com/profile/13620923188907903146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-46015106151680872992015-02-02T07:59:57.452-05:002015-02-02T07:59:57.452-05:00Thank you,Mr Groove,for sharing!

This re...Wow, Groove, the hits just keep on coming!<br />This revived series in the 1970s has my favorite Metal Men stories - yep, that's right, I like 'em better than the classic Kanigher/Andru stuff from the 1960s. And the art was top-notch: first Simonson, followed by Joe Staton, who didn't miss a beat.Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.com
