Reading Room MANHUNTER 2070 "Never Trust a Red-Haired Greenie" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...Starker accepts an assignment to capture embezzler Milton Wallen, which takes the interplanetary bountry hunter to the planet Zodan, where theft is a way of life (sorta like Washington DC).

After persuading the locals (nicknamed "Greenies") to return some of his property they mistook for their own (as shown above), Starker proceeds to neighboring planet Zoldar, where Wallen headed after landing on Zodan...

I guess we can't post the disclaimer "No glyphs were harmed during the making of this comic book!"...

You'll see the finale...but not the conclusion to this tale...

Tomorrow!

Yes, I know we promised this for May, but things came up...

...yet I doubt you'll complain as you finally get to read the last, never-reprinted Showcase appearance of Starker...

Unfortunately, Starker, that's not going to happen, as we'll see

Design of the Week: ASIAN MONSTER / DINOSAUR!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another.
This week, we ask the question: What kid doesn't love dinosaurs?
The idea of being a huge, unstoppable creature rampaging, devouring, and stepping on everything and everybody in your path has an undeniable appeal to little ones, who usually feel helpless in a world too big for them! (Why do you think the new Jurassic World flick had such a great opening day or that Godzilla is still going strong after 50 years?)
This week we say...

Dinosaurs!
Once they ruled the planet!
Now they'll dominate your wardrobe!

Available on t-shirts, mugs, and all sorts of kool kollectibles!

Snap them up...before they snap you up!

Coming Monday...the Return of MANHUNTER 2070 in "Never Trust a Red-Haired Greenie"!

The third (and final) tale in his never-reprinted Showcase run...

...with an ending you won't believe they dared publish!

To entice you further, here's a never-reprinted extra, which we forgot to run when we re-introduced the character HERE...the very first appearance of Manhunter 2070 from Showcase #90 (1970) which also synopsizes the series' concept...

See you 55 years from now on Monday!

RIP Patrick Macnee (1922-2015)

Remember the kool British spy tv series The Avengers and the team of Steed & Keel?

"Wait, you mean 'Steed & Peel', right?"

Nope, I meant "Steed & Keel"!

That's how the series was meant to be!

Read about how the show would never have "crossed the pond" if it had stayed with it's original, somewhat dull, concept HERE.

If it hadn't, we wouldn't be mourning the passing of actor Patrick Macnee, who made the somewhat stereotypical character of John Steed the distinctive cult icon he is today...
