With LwA #126 and 128, I seem to have stumbled onto a brief stretch of the title in which both issues have Mr. Lodge victimized by unusual criminals, and the gang forced to solve the crime. #126 was a fire extinguisher salesman who would gas his victims, and #128 was a portrait painter whose paintings would hypnotize the victims. Fun ideas, boring execution.


By the way, I did order Scott's cherished LwA #125, but it isn't here yet. Difficult issue to track down, so I bought it from some shady online comic shop I'd never heard of before, and I give it about a 60% chance of ever actually getting here.
