    Even though I'm a Brit, I've always preferred the look of that to the later UK-distributed Marvel All-Colour Comics variant.

    At first, I thought the creature's mid-section and legs were cocooned in something.

    The bird looks about the right size, though.
  5. Ken Aldred
    Zabu should be much bigger.
  6. Ken Aldred
    Yup. Although, Tarzan is a lot cooler than The Black Condor, so it's not all bad news for him.
  7. Ken Aldred
    But not a Frazetta Conan.

    They'd die of laughter.

    The sidekicks are a bit mismatched; Zabu vs Cheetah. That fight wouldn't last long.

    Electro-convulsive therapy is supposed to be very effective.
  11. Ken Aldred
    Red Sonja could do the same.

    Not quite the image I was thinking of. Clearly, the acrid odour of old newsprint has a calming effect.

    There's the 'thrill of the hunt' factor to consider, and the downer from those adrenaline surges which can occur once you finally own a copy.

    There are some images of him in the Water Cooler that show frightening levels of aggression, and I suspect that even an alpha male Cimmerian could be intimidated by them. So, not as far-fetched as many boardies might believe.
  15. Ken Aldred
    It's more believable, say, than being adopted by a condor and developing the power of flight.
  16. Ken Aldred
    My vote goes to the Cimmerian. Conan - born on a battlefield, raised in a hard-as-nails warrior society, eventually proving to be the toughest of them all. Tarzan - adopted by primates.

    One of the iconic writers from the Bronze Age period during which I first started reading comics, and responsible for starting the process of reinvigorating my all-time favourite super-hero team. A sad loss.

    Exactly why I never posted ECs as comics 'every collector should have' in the thread in General. I think they're brilliant, but someone else might see them as extremely overwritten, formulaic and preachy at times.

    To me, looks like Cole was going for a minimalist, Art Deco effect.
  20. Ken Aldred
    Yup. That sounds great.
  21. Ken Aldred
    Ghost Rider, Punisher, Spectre, Judge Dredd
  22. Ken Aldred
    Yup. And The Punisher.
  23. Ken Aldred
    Much the same for me. I have pretty much everything I really care about, and so I can go into hibernation during this period of over-the-top frenzy.

    At one point they were also being promoted as Marvel Studios' possible replacement / alternative to the X-Men.

    There's no quality trolling anymore. I'm hoping for the return of Lancashire Kitchens instead.
