Gee, I don't recall that G-S A #4 was all that bad (for those of you who don't
remember that far back, it featured Mantis' marriage to a plant), though it cer-
tainly won't go down in the annals of comic book history as a Classic. Now SHE-
HULK #1 was *really* bad --- in fact, it was the worst comic I can remember ever
reading until the Dazzler graphic novel came along.

Why Leialoha (or anyone) would want the art to resemble Trina Robbins' is beyond
me. I don't care for her stuff at all.

Yeah, when I came across that line, I stopped short and said "What?!" It seemed
to me that that restriction on her powers came totally out of left field.
