But we haven't seen hair like that since the heyday of "Stevie Hunter," eh ? Could this lead to some kind Legion/X-Men crossover "event ?" Maybe I should put out my own eyes now, and avoid the rush.

On second thought, if they got Walt Simonson back to draw it, I'd probably be, at the very least, amused. I mean, Walt Simonson made me pay attention to The New Gods, and I never pay attention to The New Gods.

Simonson did New Gods? Missed that. But then, I wouldn't have gotten it anyway.
to me, New Gods work better as supporting players. No one but Kirby made them work on their own.

SNL had cast changes. Imagine if every time John Belusci got killed off, the next creative team brought him back... over and over.

Simonsin did the final issues of John Byrne's relaunch of the New Gods and then relaunched that title as 'Orion'. It was pretty good, but nothing spectacular.
The potential was there to make it superb a la his Thor run, but I don't know if it made it past a year.

I've never been able to warm to the New Gods thing. I just liked how Simonson drew Darkseid in the X-Men/Titans thing. Actually it's also Simonson's fault that I read comics at all. Marvel's Star Wars was the first comic I ever bought for myself. I eventually sold the entire run apart from the one that mostly looks like this . I was too superstitious to let it go.

My favorite Simonson will always be his 70s Manhunter w/Goodwin.

I wasn't even buying comics in the 1970s, though I do remember reading them on the drugstore spinner racks. (Oh, what a cliche'. Spinner racks and non-chain drugstores are sooooo 20th Century...)

I remember TV stations going off the air at night, cigarette ads on TV, watching the moon landing, and watching Pres. Nixon resign on TV.
And what I've forgotten, Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I never fopllowed Manhunter in the original time. I found one isssue years later, and started hunting for them piecemeal (until the 80s reprint came out). Originally posted by Quislet, Esq.:

Although a lot of people refer to them as "those #@$%& tabloids," I have fond memories of the oversized DC Treasury books. Of course I have the one with the wedding of Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad, and the one with all the Legionnaires flying on the cover, but by far, this Batman is my favorite cover. Neal Adams ROCKED!
Long Live all them Legions!

Sorry. I lent it to Gary so he could hire a new therapist. This will be the seventh this year, or so I've heard...
