Wellll... Mort's stuff was REALLY silly (he's been fodder for Hembeck for
the last 5 years), but with Maggin, he gives you the impression that there
is some "higher force" (hey, I didn't say WHICH one... maybe the gods from
Son O' God comics #1 :-) ) out there, controlling men's (and Supermen's)
destinies... rather like Arthur, Merlin & Camelot.  Oh well, just call me an
old romantic ("Ok, you're an old rom.." BANG! BANG!).

ARGGH!  You're right!  I have no honor!  Seppecu City!  Quick boys, the
sacrificial electric knife.... whirrr...

				Stay tuned next week...
