Big, big thanks to artist Chip Skelton for the great work he did on this whacked out character piece. It was a ton of fun just getting Cap, Spy Gal and Dr. Rocket in a room together and watch them go. Hope you guys dug it as well.
Next week begins an all-new Origins tale: MEGA MATT AND THE BALLAD OF THE O’HARA FAMILY with art by Marjorie Rishel! I know several of you out there are jumping up and down for joy.
Should adults wear shorts? Weigh in on my newest blog over at brockheasley.com!
Spy-Gal can’t fly, yet her daughter can.
I only know of one of Spy-Gal’s former lovers who could have passed on that power.
Also, I think he noticed too…
OMG!!! A Mega Matt origin story!!!
*Dances around her room in utter joy*
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU…..did I say thank you yet….THANK YOU!
I’ve been wondering about something from this story, that I don’t yet understand. See, Budapest in 1968 was on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Seeing as how the Soviet Union sent Sam to work with the Lodge of Doom, I can’t help wonder how kindly they took to Thrice Evil taking over a Warsaw pact country’s capital city, not to mention American superheroes going in…
(I’m well aware that the Unicef is supposed to be UN and not American, but in 1968 Halloween disguises like theirs were very American, or possibly British, either way very Western. So I can’t really see them endorsed by the Soviet Union.)
Then again, this is Abaddon-Earth, one very different from our own. It’s entirely possible that Hungary managed somehow to remain relatively independent from the Eastern bloc, a bit like Yugoslavia did.
