I generally enjoy his work, but I agree that he's one of those journeyman writers, rather than somebody who makes me think "wow, this is brilliant." I quite like his run on Amazing Spider-Man in the late '70s and early '80s though, although it isn't a must-read run IMHO. I remember his tenure on Thor after Conway, it felt kind of like a re-introduction to the character and a little bit on the bland side Wolfman never wrote Thor. You're thinking of Len Wein.

Condolences on the loss of your friend. Rock 'n' roll has lost one of its titans.

I was absolutely livid over the disrespect Wolfman showed to Englehart's run at the time. It still leaves a bad taste in my mouth and his remains my least favorite run on the book. It isn't worth reading again (in my opinion, natch) until Roger Stern takes over as writer (though there's a lot of good art between Englehart and Stern).

Guess I'm a Philistine. I couldn't tell the difference between mayo and Miracle Whip if my life depended in it.

And why they put pants on him. I think Howard even commented about it in one of the B&W magazines. Affirmative. In a story titled "Animal Indecency" in HtD #2, a morals crusader named Wally Sidney leads a movement that forces Howard to don pants whenever in public. Not one of Bill Mantlo's subtler moments.

These are the only two issues of Superboy I have. The only super-team I like better than the Space Canine Patrol Agents is the Legion of Super-Pets.
Cei-U! Why, yes, I am weird!

I had the Snake-Eyes/Timber figures! Incidentally, trying to equate fictional dogs with real breeds might be a fool’s errand, but as a fool, I’ll go down that path. Is Krypto meant to be a Labrador (or akin to a Labrador)? He’s not 100% like one. And is Ace the Bat-Hound an Alsatian? Krypto is the Kryptonian equivalent of a terrier (he was actually designed without a specific breed in mind). Ace is a German shepherd.

Can't make it today. Having technical issues with my camera and mike. My nephew-in-law will be here later to help troubleshoot.
Cei-U! Have fun!

I like the idea of Iron Man outfitting a chihuahua with a tiny Iron Dog suit.

All the DD in those FF issues where drawn by Wally Wood. So that is not a good comparison. And beyond the pose, which doesn't look like Kirby to me. The anatomy and musculature is not Kirby's. And the Avengers panel just looks to static to be Kirby, the Wasp's pose is very awkward. And the next panel 3 shot is also unlike Kirby. The DD figures in FF #39 are inked by Wood but pencilled by Kirby; those in FF #40 are Kirby and Colletta. One figure in the latter is nearly identical to the JiM panel. The Avengers figures are also Kirby. Just look at Iron Man's hands in the second panel. I can't think of any reason for Stan to have those panels redrawn. Maybe it's just Colletta's sloppy inks that are throwing you off.
Cei-U! I summon my eye for art!

This is gold Me:
In the Marvel Universe, who killer Hitler? ChatGPT:In the Marvel Universe, Adolf Hitler was killed by the superhero team known as the Invaders during World War II. The specific issue where this event occurs is "The Invaders" #35, published in 1978. In this story, Hitler is assassinated by a time-traveling superhero named Union Jack, who is a member of the Invaders. This is wrong on so many levels. Anyway, whaddya need chatGPT for when you've got me?

I was experiencing the same thing earlier today. It lasted for about an hour. No clue as to what or why.
