And that goes for "Golden", "Silver" or any other "Age" you have (well; maybe not "Lead"!

I mean, Cathy got <i>a little</i> too excited when Venus asked her to come to America with her…<br /><br />Anyway, I'm really enjoying these stories. Yes, they're pretty goofy, but Venus is a fun character.<br /><br />Also, a happy belated birthday to you, Karswell!goblinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-29665620057428387332011-05-06T08:13:38.407-05:002011-05-06T08:13:38.407-05:00Thanks for the comments, it was about time Venus g...Thanks for the comments, it was about time Venus got some recognition at THOIA, I've gawked at those awesome horror covers of hers for years, tried my hand at aquiring copies on ebay, but alas this is one series that continues to elude me. I had to finally break down and ask for scans from ever reliable Brian (who of course owns every comic book on the planet.) <br /><br />One more Venus story to go, I may even post the non-Venus stories from these issues sometime next week if everyone is interested.

And I'm interested in the fast one pulled with the daughter here. I'm sensing a pattern when it comes to the tactics this title is willing to employ to keep us guessing. In the last Venus story, the baddie is presented as solid on the first page (or so) and then revealed to be a ghost--evinced by its intangibility--by the end. Here we have the opposite: a totally see-through girl when introduced later surprises us by not really being a ghost at all in the end.<br /><br />Otherwise this is excellent as advertised. I actually like the lazy ass field coloring here a lot. It really works with Everett's panel compositions.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-80673259408117952342011-05-05T14:12:26.671-05:002011-05-05T14:12:26.671-05:00Karswell, thanks for the plugola.

I'd forgotten I'd shown that story, and if you'd shown it yourself no one would have caught it, including me.<br /><br />This is really great stuff.
