Okay, so you all remember one of the big play-ground rumors back in the day, that you had no way of knowing wasn't true at the time, about how The Human Torch was replaced by H.E.R.B.I.E. in the Fantastic Four
cartoon because they were afraid kids would light themselves on fire. -Same thing was said about Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends having Firestar instead of Ol' Match-head.
There's also the one that seems to come up every few years- you'll hear about some kid who died after trying to fly like Superman and jumping off of a building/out of a window. (I first heard this one in reference to why the 1988 Superman cartoon was canceled.) I tried searching the interwebs to see if it has ever REALLY happened... and I could only find this one, rather recent, instance.
I only bring these up because I want them fresh in your mind...

-Speaking of Firestorm...
Firestorm isn't DC's only cool "match-headed" character. -There's also the fuckin' Waverider!
Things always get awesome when he shows up...
This is Armageddon/Inferno #1 by John Ostrander, Luke McDonnell, and Tom Mandrake.

Pizza Hut's The Real Heroes #2

-There were four issues, in total, of Marvel's Real Heroes. I only own #2, that I found at The Dirt Mall, and #3 (that I actually got AT Pizza Hut back in 1994).
#1 has The Thing, Black Panther, Jubilee, and Professor X in it.
#2 here is Wolverine, Hulk, Storm, and Namor.
#3 features Captain America, DareDevil, Falcon, and Wasp.
And #4 stars Spider-Man, Firestar, Ironman, and The Human Torch.
-Here's a commercial for them... that's blatantly ripping off Mr. Bill:

#75 SPECIAL EDITION! COLLECTOR'S ITEM!!!
See previously: #1, #25, and #50!
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?
