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

When Last We Left Our Interplanetary Bounty Hunter...

...tracking and capturing fugitive embezzler Milton Wallen on the planet Zoldar turns out to be the easy part as bounty hunter Starker also tries to recover the embezzled funds from the guys who fleeced Wallen in a crooked card game.

But there's a third pair involved in this hunt who neither Starker nor the criminals he's chasing are aware of...

The "buying public" apparently wasn't..buying, that is.

Not only was this tale by writer/penciler Mike Sekowsky and inker Frank Giacoia in DC's Showcase #93 (1970) the end of Starker's try-out run, but the end of Showcase as well.

But, just as Showcase was eventually revived (twice), Starker returned from the dead (twice)...as you'll see...

Tomorrow!

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!

Script and pencils for this tale from DC's Showcase #93 (1970) are by Mike Sekowsky, with inks provided by Frank Giacoia.

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!
