Even though it didnt happen in issue 48 of Alpha Flight, I know theres gotta be an issue of Alpha Flight either before or after where Heather Hudson gets attacked and swarmed by bees or something and her teammates are attacked also.

Weeks ago when I went to the comic book shop to catch up on old back issues of Alpha Flight, NOW Comics Ghostbusters, old Incredible Hulk, random old issues of Fantastic Four etc.
As I was looking through old Fantastic Four issues of 583 to 587 theres this Valeria Richards daughter of Reed and Susan I assume? When did Reed and Susan have the time for another kid anyway?

Alpha Flight # 48 i found and browsed through and yeah one of the characters gets their legs fused in an icky way but i still remember Heather Hudson in her Vindicator outfit she was surrounded by bees or something.
Alot of weird stuff like that happened in issues like that whether it was Alpha Flight, Power Pack, Uncanny X-Men 208 where Rogue was trying to save Colossus from him being sucked underground and other comics.
Must be part of that Mendela Effect or whatever which even happens in comic books where today we still remember weird comic book moments that happened in the comics blah blah

Back then in 1985 to 1987 when I was a little kid I remember certain issues from G.I. Joe to Power Pack, Uncanny X Men and Alpha Flight.
For Alpha Flight issue 48 I sort of remember someone's legs fusing together in an icky way but there was some other odd issue of Alpha Flight where Heather in her Vindicator outfit, she got attacked and swarmed by bees.
Then with G.I. Joe there's issues 53 to 55 and issue 53 is the one I remember the most where it got dark and scary where it was supposed to Flint that was being tortured.
Anyone else besides rememeber other odd moments from old comic books from back then where you remember seeing things and then today you cant find those certain moments anymore?

I kind of agree about old comic books having way too much text for dialogue. old Uncanny X Men is guilt of this as well since I read through issues 214 to 118 recently.
If I want to read a whole paragraph of text I can go read a frikkin novel for that.
Comic books. I want short simple dialogue and the rest pretty much all action in the comic panels.

Earlier today I was reading Uncanny X-Men # 214 to 218 from the Essential X-Men Volume 7 trade paperback.
The stories in those issues they're ok but i was getting bored reading through them except for Dazzler fighting Juggernaut on her own in the grassy fields of Ireland.

old bronze age Swamp Thing with the House of Secrets debut, Swampy is pretty much old classic "gothic" murder revenge horror from the grave which reminds me a little bit of the old EC comics stuff

Im asking was ALAN MOORE's SAGA OF SWAMP THING THE ONLY MAIN SWAMP THING COMIC BOOK BACK IN THE 1980s? SHOULD I READ THAT ANYWAY?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION NOW?

Yesterday I bought the Bronze Age volume 1 trade paperback of Swamp Thing from the barnes and noble store and i was flipping through it to what the artwork was etc.
I assume that Alan Moore's Saga of Swamp Thing was pretty much the only main Swamp Thing comic book at the time during the 1980s?

G.I. Joe issue 49 I used to have back in the day when I was a little kid. I remember either my mom or dad getting me that issue from the spinner rack from the drug pharmacy store.
