As much as I always wanted to support the guy because he rose from fandom, I cannot think of one thing that he ever wrote that I enjoyed.joe decnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-5452014988044590872009-08-21T19:12:20.814-04:002009-08-21T19:12:20.814-04:00I couldn't disagree with you more!

All that plus SATAN- served up in a crab boil of tarnished bronze-ness that only Stanley Leiber's Atlas Comics could? BAH!! GRIM GHOST is one of my faves Atlas-wise, if even for it's absurdity. <br /><br />It's easy to love the Chaykin Issues of Scorpion, DESTRUCTOR and TIGER-MAN! But giving your love to the GRIM GHOST, MORLOCK, The COUGAR, etc.? That's commitment- that's fidelity. I know, I'm alone Maybe this is what it's like to explain being a White Sox fan, or a lover of the film GALAXINA, Turkish super-hero films, Necco Wafers, etc.<br /><br />So I guess I'll stand alone. In the misty, unshaven, un-hip chamber of 70's nostalgia in that weird corner of my psyche- the GRIM GHOST shall always ride!FLAMEAPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00314944822958836530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-64292416513070425162009-08-21T02:05:13.056-04:002009-08-21T02:05:13.056-04:00Scott:

I liked Tony Isabella's story more than you did (though it had its problems), but concur on the Colón art. I'm normally a fan, but he laid a real stinker here!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />AndrewAndrew Wahlhttp://comicsbronzeage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-26789009192162692472009-07-24T18:13:25.563-04:002009-07-24T18:13:25.563-04:00I recall seeing these in spinner rack 2 at the pla...I recall seeing these in spinner rack 2 at the place we bought comics in Norway Bay, Quebec in the 1970's. The main spinner rack had all the DC and Marvels and was right beside the door in front of the counter. The second one had the Archie comics, weird magazines and the Atlas comics which were clearly substandard Marvel comics to my youthful eye. We snubbed them big-time.Shamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425340105986634717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-7326594480762171702007-07-19T08:54:00.000-04:002007-07-19T08:54:00.000-04:00Hey now - I am actually the world's only Larry Lie...Hey now - I am actually the world's only Larry Lieber fan (love the old Marvel back-up stories).<BR/><BR/>I normally try to defend Atlas-Seaboard too, but this one is a stinker - most of their series did take a total nose dive after Lieber too over as editor of the entire line.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for you comment.Scott Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178848796601157212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16897036.post-20076654785897847722007-07-18T16:46:00.000-04:002007-07-18T16:46:00.000-04:00Thank you for saving me!
