They didn't seem to know what they were doing, most of the time, yet somehow I find that endearing. in a super villain. Gerber and Sal had a fantastic and sometimes utterly weird run on this mag.<br />Personally I thought Nagan looked more like Rod Steiger.<br />Great post!<br /><br />Ruby Thursday 2020!

Looking at it now, it REALLY WAS a bizarre story.<br /><br /><br />Also, why does Arthur Nagan look like Richard Nixon's head on an ape's body?<br /><br /><br />JungGRThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557422422295025467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-10155459840562757132020-01-13T18:30:25.111-05:002020-01-13T18:30:25.111-05:00Thank you Murray.

Consider me on a Gerber hiatus, indefinitely.<br /><br />Tiboldt, I suspect that any writer(s) would regard such a project either a challenge too great to pass on, or no man's land. (Perhaps even a little of both!)<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-71722751804520784542020-01-13T09:41:12.867-05:002020-01-13T09:41:12.867-05:00"Hello Marvel?

Modern comics have "Rated T for Teen" and "Mature Content". Back then, they had the Comic Code. I just wish there had been some warning label "Warning: Contains Excessive and Possibly Drug-Induced Whackadoodle" for Gerber's <i>Defenders</i><br /><br />He kept just enough genuine comic book action to keep me coming back. But, also, that was the age when I stuck with a comic, issue by issue, waiting for any odd plot to turn around.<br /><br />Still, I had a moment of fond nostalgia when reading relatively recent issues of <i>Dr. Strange</i>. Inside the magicians' hangout, "The Bar With No Doors" we see Chondu, who is now a floating head in a jar, bartending.<br /><br />(That has to be a contender for one of your longest blog-essays ever, no? Well done!)<br /><br />Big Murrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311467081145732439noreply@blogger.com
