Hah! I love the Stan Lee villain teamups; the villains always spend more time squabbling with each other than they do defeating the hero. I’m adding this to today’s roundup post!

This post cracked me up. I must say however Gene Colan was, and is, an amassing artist.

Thanks for commenting, guys! What I think you really get from this, and many other stories that Stan Lee and the other comic book creators of this era put together, is just how much fun they were having. It’s not as if they don’t know that it’s nutty. They just don’t care. If you can think it, you can write it, package it, and sell it. Hopefully, the readers will enjoy the fun of it just as much. It’s a nuttiness I think would be very unwise to try to recreate today, but at the time readers may have been more forgiving of lapses in logic. Having said that, I think the Mike Murdock era in general, and this story arc in particular, may have been among the strangest and most far-fetched stories out there.

This specific storyarc is what I like to call “the Bible of Preposterous Plot Points”.
Also, I predict that Mr Hyde is probably the villain with the most “acts of non killing” on his account.

Hey, Christine – missing you on blogger…;)

This is probably my favourite convoluted acts of non-killing by DD villains. Classic stuff. Best wishes on the new site – I’ll try and keep up!

Matt posing as Mike posing as Daredevil posing as Thor must be surely one of the most mind-boggling moments of the story of Marvel Comics, possibly making many a fan gasp and ask “wathever stuff Stan Lee is in… I want some!!”
