I have entire issues of Adv into Unknown Worlds, Skeleton Hand, and Forbidden Worlds that don't have a single decent story inside. But yeah, ACG found a formula that worked for them (the same one used over and over by Hollywood in the B classics) and stuck to it. A really good ACG story can also sometimes be spoiled by the happy, "we fought evil and lived so now let's get married" ending, but mostly it works as a capper to the ridiculously entertaining proceedings.Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-23431838649122117162008-01-19T11:16:00.000-06:002008-01-19T11:16:00.000-06:00THE SEVERED ARMS COMING OUT OF THE COFFIN ARE CREE...THE SEVERED ARMS COMING OUT OF THE COFFIN ARE CREEPIER THAN THE HEAD!
