Happy seventy-fifth-post, Mental Organisms!
I was recently reading Challengers of The Unknown #83-87, guest starring Swamp Thing, and Deadman- written by Gerry Conway, and penciled by Keith Giffen and Mike Nasser. I bought them at The Flea-Market last Summer for, I think, a buck an issue...
Kirby is KING but I've never really given a fuck about The Challengers; I picked these up because I do give a fuck about the guest-stars.
These issues came out before I was born: 1977, and despite the talent involved; they really read like an older comic. I mean, they're Bronze Age, but they feel like Silver...
-Very dated...

...maybe that's the point, though? -It's a throwback to the 50's?
