Usually when a character like that changes his mind and does something heroic, he gets KILLED doing the heroic thing. But somehow THIS story manages to have it both ways when it comes to Dennis - he's this mercenary accomplice of the head, but from the beginning he seems like the hero of the story as well.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-18620946830327250042015-03-18T17:30:52.379-05:002015-03-18T17:30:52.379-05:00Hah, I like everything about that splash panel, fr...Hah, I like everything about that splash panel, from the optical illusion that makes the headless body look like he's got itty-bitty bat wings to the special doubly safe belt-and-suspenders rig he's got supporting that suit they've buried him in. And terrifying deathless marauder or not, he still seems to have split his pants like some kinda prat.<br /><br />Great blast form the past!Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-11378498945846979702015-03-18T12:59:46.032-05:002015-03-18T12:59:46.032-05:00Great story.

I love vengeful heads since I read Lovecraft's Herbert West.<br />Here is one lovely little head, even creepier than "the brain" Otto von Schmidster bouncing his way out of "Adventures into terror".<br />I had nightmares after reading that story as a kid, and yet it made me laugh. Now this guy is even more jeering and ludicrous than Otto, so we'll see this night.<br />No use, of course, in asking what need has the head of the veteran's help, as it seems capable of floating and even retrieving his rotten body by means of magic.<br />J_D_La_Rue_67https://www.blogger.com/profile/13620923188907903146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-37586664660276637682015-03-18T12:12:37.959-05:002015-03-18T12:12:37.959-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-90880497215753615712015-03-18T11:55:25.857-05:002015-03-18T11:55:25.857-05:00How precisely was the "hero" expecting M...How precisely was the "hero" expecting Mister Tetchy Head to pay him?

Yes, there's a plan. Wait for it to get more powerful!<br /><br />A fun story, silly all around, but sadly we've got a hero who basically does nothing and lucks into a victory. First he starts off as a heel, though the story gives him a convenient out, then doesn't throttle the head when he has a chance, doesn't just leave, and has to wait for the idiotic head to just fall in a hole and then forget it can actually fly.<br /><br />I love the panel with the skeletal hands reaching out of the grave, announcing that he's going to "kill you yet."<br /><br />I wonder what was up with the printing on this one? The colors are bright on top, but washed out on the bottom. Doesn't seem like your normal offset problem.Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
