BHOC: INVADERS #38
INVADERS was a series on a downward slope, and much closer to cancellation that I realized as a regular reader. I could tell that something was off about the book, but I was so invested in the Golden Age as a concept and in the formative versions of these characters, like the Justice Society of America over at DC, that I never allowed it to puncture my enthusiasm for the series. INVADERS was a…

Marvel Team-Up #96 (Kupperberg, Aug 1980). The best joke here is that Pete has spent years assuming his first encounter with Howard was a dream.

257. David Anthony Kraft and Suzanne Weyn (words); Alan Kupperberg and Brian Moore (art) - Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Coloring Book: The Lost Wand (1983)
Again making use of Marvel Comics great stable of artists and writers we get a third in the group of four AD&D coloring books, although I still do not understand why they are branded as AD&D rather than just D&D, seeing as they are clearly tie-ins to the world of the TV show which is just branded as D&D. Anyway, that's nitpicking.
Another thing I find interesting in these books is the fact that they exist in a parallel continuity to the TV show, or maybe even as prequels. They feature plenty of secondary characters from the series (Warduke, Kelek and Strongheart) but none of the main cast, none of the kids are here or Venger, Dungeon Master or Tiamat. I guess there's a reason for this and that is the fact that these coloring books are directly related to the toy line produced by LJN in 1983 which does not include any of those main characters as well, but does include Warduke, Kelek and Strongheart. If you ask me it was a lost opportunity but oh well, what do I know from Marketing?
Anyway there you go! Hope you enjoy it.

BHOC: INVADERS #35
INVADERS was a title that I liked during its initial run in the 1970s, but for a while it had been growing progressively weaker. Ever since the departure of artist Frank Robbins, a succession of fill-in creators had taken the helm with varying results. Even Roy Thomas, who ad conceived the series as a tribute to the comics he grew up reading was absent more often than not, and those who filled in…

Great work Pete. She doesn't suspect it was you at all. Lowering your voice totally was enough to hide it. You idiot.
