Marvel often finished up stories from cancelled titles in other books, resolving the story in the cancelled book, like Skull the Slayer being resolved in Marvel Two-in-One or Eternals in the pages of Thor.
Was this done for the Frankenstein title? #18 leaves off mid-story on something of a cliffhanger, but there was never a #19. There was a 2 part Frankenstein story in Marvel Team-Up #36-37 that referred to events in issues leading up to #18 that came out about the same time as Frankenstein #17 and 18, but it didn't pick up where #18 left off. I vaguely remember a Frankenstein appearance in an Iron Man story circa #100, but haven;t read it, and don't know if it addresses where Frankenstein #18 left off. Anyone know if it does or if not, where that story was resolved (if it was resolved)?

Yeah, Iron Man #101 & #102 wriiten by Bill Mantlo had some sort of continuation from his Frankenstein Monster #18 story. Iron Man crash lands in the Alps after his plane is shot down. He is found by The Children of the Damned and then taken to Castle Frankenstein, where the Frankenstein Monster and Victoria Frankenstein are living...

I did read some of that story, but I'm guessed RR meant the first Hawkeye mini where he is made deaf and also marries Mockingbird.

I did read some of that story, but I'm guessed RR meant the first Hawkeye mini where he is made deaf and also marries Mockingbird. I was actually referring to the Fraction run in which an assassin stabbed Clint in the eardrums with two arrows. He was using sign language after that, which was pretty cool... but I didn't read any new Hawkeye comic since the end of the Fraction/Aja run. When you referred to heroes being reborn, I thought you referred to the recent end of the universe slash soft reboot that Marvel went through. (I didn't read it so I have no idea if it was Franklin who fixed everything again). This is another sign that comics are too bloody repetitive... it's not even clear, when we discuss things, whether we're talking about a hero becoming deaf this time or that other time, or if we're talking about the end of the universe from two years ago or the one from a few more years back!

I've never read any of Raymond's Flash Gordon and I wish to rectify that. However there seems to be a wide choice in reprints available for this, from Kitchen Sink Press to Checkers Publishing to IDW to the more recent Titan books.
Which edition(s) would you all recommend to start with or offer the best reproduction?

I have 6 of the 7 Checkers volumes and I am satisfied with the quality and price on them, but I haven't seen the other editions to compare. The Checkers are out of print, but still pretty readily available on the secondary market. -M

One difference that I've found in the newer editions is the IDW editions also reprint the Jungle Jim header strips for the accompanying Gordon strips, a nice extra to add it seems. The price is what made me pause though, Amazon had the first IDW collection listed for around $90. Hardcover, yes, but the page count is given as around 190 some pages. So that seems like quite a bit for that amount of pages to me.

The book is also 12x16 so it's pretty much original size. I haven't seen one of the books, but IDWs books are always well done.

I am reading Master Of Kung Fu and I am in the Mike Zeck era. Is this his first major run on comic books? His art is just superb and so far, the best artwork of the series. ( Sorry Gulacy ).

Zeck had done a decent bit of work for Charlton prior to MoKF. But that was his first significant work for Marvel.

Has anyone read this book? I just saw it on my library's new arrival list and requested it, but I hadn't heard anything about it previously. -M
