When I tried to log in to it with my best guess as to what I would have used as a password, it said my email address itself did not exist (NOT my submitted password guess). So I selected anonymous and then "preview," with the expectation of adding an explanation of all this if it worked, but it simply posted instead. Hence, those italics coders that, obviously now, don't work on these boards. Real nice system you've got here. (This one DID "preview," BTW.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148046803446018048.post-76840544847660739542008-04-21T20:08:00.000+01:002008-04-21T20:08:00.000+01:00That Chaykin-drawn (and Roy Thomas-scripted) Kane ...That Chaykin-drawn (and Roy Thomas-scripted) Kane story for Marvel Comics' [i]Savage Sword]/i] b/w mag was a direct and immediate follow-up to their adaptation of "Red Shadows" over two issues of the Code-approved/four-color line's [i]Marvel Premiere[/i], featuring that same visual design for Solomon.

But then Kane really would look like the Shadow, so perhaps not!Steve Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213873565793377832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148046803446018048.post-83460800747860258602007-08-20T06:03:00.000+01:002007-08-20T06:03:00.000+01:00The reason for the anachronisms in the imagery of ...The reason for the anachronisms in the imagery of Kane is that there were abundant anachronisms in the prose. I'm not sure how we're gonna handle it yet, but you've given me some things to think about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839941357901878054noreply@blogger.com
