What Key has the Worst Story???

[Wally's Comics]

It could be argued that Hulk 181 is campy...

 

But earlier this year I got a beater of Avengers # 1 to read and I must admit

old Stan Lee must have been doing so good drugs in the 60's to come up with

the idea of the Hulk working as a Circus Clown...

 

I wonder if that'll be in the movie...

 

 

 

What Key has the Worst Story???

Whats the difference between Hulk as a circus clown and Arnold as governor?

[JuliusSeizure]

I always thought JIM 83 was kind of banal.

[Wally's Comics]

I thought Avengers 1 was really cool

 

with Hulk as a clown?

 

maybe I should've read it 30 years ago...

 

 

[Loki]

Maybe its me, but I just can't read ASM #129 without laughing at how badly written the story is. For such a lasting character, the Punisher should have had a more memorable first appearance...

[Dr. Balls]

Granted, I haven't read most of the others in the thread in a long time, but I did re-read GSX1 about a month ago, and ham-fisted exposition about the characters and where they came from was bad. Like Shutter Island bad.

 

Sure, the writing back then was not what we expect now, but that issue was pretty bad in terms of transition and delivery.

[El Toro Rojo]

Avengers #1 - not only the Hulk as a circus clown, but a ROBOT circus clown!

 

Important, goofy distinction!

[Mephisto]

As with the last time this thread was made, my vote in Uncanny X-Men 266.

[AGGIEZ]

Hero for Hire #1

 

 

[Dale Roberts]

Brave & Bold #28 - a giant alien starfish??? really???

[nearmint]

It could happen.

[Transplant]

Like Shutter Island bad.

I liked Shutter Island.

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Like Shutter Island bad.

I liked Shutter Island.

 

So did I.

[Hawkman]

i've always felt that most Thor or Thor related books were pretty bad.

[Prince Namor]

Maybe its me, but I just can't read ASM #129 without laughing at how badly written the story is. For such a lasting character, the Punisher should have had a more memorable first appearance...

 

Really? I thought that was one of the better ones from that era....

[paperheart]

GL #1- giant puppet, ooooooh scary.

[KirbyJack]

GL #1- giant puppet, ooooooh scary.

Giant, limp wristed puppet.

Important distinction.

I agree...I though Gerry Conway and Ross Andru's run on the title was consistently good and this issue was no exception. A low-key debut certainly, but Punsy was originally created only to be a monolithic foil for Spider-Man's angsty moralism.

Hulk #181 is really, really bad!

 

Werewolf by Night #32 stinks.
