And it covers some important bases. The odd and unstable personality change of "Marvel Boy"--check. The character's ramped-up powers as the Crusader--check. It raises a few more issues that seem a little contrived, but it works for the most part. And I think it makes for an interesting segment to the <i>Atlas</i> series itself, which is very well written and entertaining.Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-71474360793705762532012-10-20T23:08:45.101-04:002012-10-20T23:08:45.101-04:00Yes!

It was only later when I discovered the What If issue did I realize that the team up wasn't originated recently.

There was a <i>What If...?</i> story published about 3 years later that Thomas was behind, with Marvel Boy and a few other '50s characters as part of a team, which I'm curious to pull from my shelves and read again, as long as I'm in a nostalgic frame of mind. :)Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-9472245691173072182012-10-20T12:43:18.242-04:002012-10-20T12:43:18.242-04:00Uranus..hehe...so glad you didn't go for the j...Uranus..hehe...so glad you didn't go for the joke so obvious about Bob spending time on Uranus...<br />Actually one of my fondest Bronze Age Fantastic Four tales, mostly cos I was a sucker for continuity and old characters being brought back into play. Roy Thomas was great for that at Marvel, but I didn't like it so much when he did it at DC.Terence Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583845199367128599noreply@blogger.com
