If modern comics were like this and Fletcher Hanks' other work, I'd buy a lot more of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-15516794909094037032006-10-04T17:34:00.000-07:002006-10-04T17:34:00.000-07:00Zomax's rumble in the jungle is one of the most aw...Zomax's rumble in the jungle is one of the most awesomely hilarious set of panels I've seen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-1137137458022862832006-01-12T23:30:00.000-08:002006-01-12T23:30:00.000-08:00Fantomah is so cool.

Sadly, I think this episode is the final appearance of the original version before lesser, and less nutty creators take her on a descent into blandness.Marionettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985975073151200366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-1137120423373194152006-01-12T18:47:00.000-08:002006-01-12T18:47:00.000-08:00Totally and completely disagree. The Joker, one of...Totally and completely disagree. The Joker, one of the best if not the best super villain ever, had no origin, at all, for the first half of his career, and nothing more than the Red Hood was known before the Killing Joke, and even that is questionable. Also lacking in origin, the Aliens from Aliens and the Borg (for a while at least). Truly nightmarish creations with hardly any understandable motivations. Just death and destruction. <BR/><BR/>Now, obviously, a good backstory is important for any good character, a set of experiences that limit and prompt specific reactions to changes in the plot. And Dr. Doom is a great character. But Galactus is a great villain because he is so unknowable. So I think that a great villain doesn't NEED an origin story, and the kind of villain that keeps you up at night shouldn't have one at all.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, if nature beat the crap out of me, I'd be looking for my tidal wave machine too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
