Pretty exciting stuff. I sometimes get a little thrill from the overuse of "science has trod where man was never meant to go" Luddism central to much atomic-age horror, and I've never seen it boiled down quite so succinctly as it is at the top page two. That panel's a keeper.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-42815919286604998122018-12-19T18:15:28.625-06:002018-12-19T18:15:28.625-06:00'He could have chosen to just stomp on them, r...'He could have chosen to just stomp on them, rather than tie them up'<br /><br />Good catch, Mestiere!

They were a fun trio of tales. Todays effort had me saying "ohhh, yuhh, ghaa, eeeaaa, eeeee, eeeeee, owooo, ooof, yiiii, and yiiii". Not to mention bang, krunk, krak, pow, bawam, zoom (or was that wooz), bang, klung, plock (personal favorite plock!) whoosh, krash, bam, and wop. There should have been a "krack!" above the pool table just for TV "Batman" perfection. Thank you Mr.K!

I love it's black eyes and the extra parts and goo and whatnot coming off it's tentacles.<br /><br />A fun early 50s superhero tale, some good action and dynamic art.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
