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!). >But I thought that *you* of all people would've appreciated Normy's singing >the theme song to FIREBALL XL-5 while bathing in the stream. ARGGH! You're right! I have no honor! Seppecu City!
