"HITHER CAME CONAN, THE CIMMERIAN, BLACK-HAIRED, SULLEN-EYED, SWORD IN HAND..."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a 1980 pin-up of Conan the Barbarian by John Byrne, subsequently inked by Terry Austin in 1982. Also included is a more modern take on the iconic Cimmerian, undated.
"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet."
-- ROBERT E. HOWARD (January 22, 1906-June 11, 1936), and a belated posthumous happy 117th b-day, Howard

Slightly relevant but I need to go to the gay dive bar from Ann Nocenti Daredevil. I think it would fix me.

I started daily sketches at the beginning of the year, and a few weeks back I was inspired to move through the 1980s X-Men comics I grew up with, starting with the mid-160s when Binary debuted and the team fought the Brood. This post has the better of those daily efforts, up to issue 186, the double-sized comic drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith. More to come. I post notes about each issue at my site, heygregory.com

Review: Iron Man Epic Collection 14: Return of the Ghost
Tumblr media
Tony Gets His Groove Back
Tony Stark has never been cooler than he was during Bob Layton and David Michelinie’s first run on Iron Man. Denny O’Neil then used the alcoholism that they introduced (and had Tony quickly overcome) to take the character to rock bottom before building him back up again. When Layton and Michelinie returned to the title, it didn’t make sense to undo O’Neil’s excellent run by immediately returning to the 1978-1982 status quo, so they instead spent 2 years having Tony rebuilding his company and reintegrating some of the supporting cast who O’Neil had written out of the book. Sobriety had also given the character righteous fury, and he went after both friends and enemies who were using his technology. Having accomplished his mission, Tony was now able to settle in and return to something like his old self.
Iron Man 14 begins with the original graphic novel, Crash. I already reviewed it in a separate post, but to recap: it’s terrible and can be skipped. However, once you get into the meat of the Epic with the regular issues, Return of the Ghost quickly becomes a top-tier Iron Man Epic.
The issues themselves are mostly one- or two- issue self-contained arcs. Other than Tony’s complicated romantic life (he may or may not be simultaneously sleeping with 3 different women, all of whom seem to know about the others), there aren’t any running subplots. There’s a breezy tone to them, as Tony switches from yacht dates to corporate meetings to battles with some classic foes like the Mandarin, the Grey Gargoyle, Blizzard, Whiplash, and the titular Ghost.
Tumblr media
Layton and Michelinie also devote a lot of screen time to Tony’s large supporting cast. One of my favorite parts of their runs is that Stark Enterprises feels like a real company rather than just a plot device to explain why Tony has enough money to build his Iron Man suits. Mrs. Arbogast, Felix Alverez, Marcy Pearson, Ant-Man Scott Lang, Clay Wilson, and, of course, Rhodey are all individuals with distinct personalities, and they help flesh out Stark Enterprises by representing different viewpoints and goals for the company.
The art looks great for most of these issues as well. Jackson Guice provides most of the layouts, but even when he’s away, Bob Layton almost always does the finishes, which gives the book a consistent look. There’s only one issue that is finished by Barry Windsor-Smith (a fantastic penciler in his own right), and it doesn’t look nearly as good.
Tumblr media
The collection finishes with three issues of Marvel Fanfare starring Iron Man. They’re just okay (especially in comparison with Crash) but also feel very inconsequential. Granted, this is par for Iron Man Epic Collections, and I always say that suffering through filler is our lot in life.
Return of the Ghost is an odd collection. On the one hand, these issues are about as good as the title has ever been, and I’d highly encourage anyone who likes Iron Man to check them out. That said, it also feels odd recommending an Epic where more than a quarter is, to be honest, not very good filler. At the end of the day, I do think that the regular series issues are more than strong enough to justify this Epic, but I also wish that Marvel would take it easy on Shellhead fans for a change.

Somewhere in the Tennant-Verse #1
Crowley: So… who broke it? I’m not mad; I just wanna know.
Walt: I did. I broke-
Crowley, rolling his eyes: No - no, you didn’t. Campbell?
Campbell: Don’t look at me; look at Alec.
Alec: What? I didn’t break it!
Campbell: Huh, that’s weird. How’d you even know it was broken?
Alec: Because it’s sitting right in front of us, and it’s broken.
Campbell, eyeing him up and down: Suspicious.
Alec: No, it’s not!
The Doctor: If it matters - probably not - but Kilgrave was the last one to use it.
Kilgrave, offended: Liar! I don’t even drink that rubbish!
The Doctor: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Kilgrave: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles; everyone knows that, Doctor!
Walt: Okay, okay, let’s not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, Crowley.
Crowley: No! Who broke it?
The Doctor: …Crowley, Phileas has been awfully quiet.
Phileas: Really?!
The Doctor: Uh, yeah, really!
*Chaotic bickering continues*
[Later]
Crowley, confessing to Simon: *smiles smugly* I broke it. It burned my hand, so I punched it.
