(only gripes: way too little Romita art, and the exclusion of Spider-Man #123) <BR/><BR/>For '70s Marvel my first recommendations are always Howard the Duck and Tomb of Dracula, if you haven't read those. Also The Defenders. Man-Thing. If the Essential Marvel Horror volumes get around to the solo Morbius stories from Fear, and the solo Man-Wolf stories from Creatures on the Loose, I'd probably recommend them. And Godzilla (lots of monsters & super heroes, all drawn by Herb Trimpe).<BR/><BR/>I think I may pick up the "horror" volume with Brother Voodoo and the Living Mummy myself, next.Doug Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17337748651695385693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32390006.post-47716431556806683922009-01-18T15:37:00.000-08:002009-01-18T15:37:00.000-08:00I LOVED Killraven in high school (bought it one is...I LOVED Killraven in high school (bought it one issue at a time from back issue bins at Million Year Picnic in Cambridge). I think you're dead on about it not living up to its premise and yet being somehow hard to stop reading. I still can't figure out what happened when what's his name got crushed by a rock though. Was someone in the group betraying them? <BR/><BR/>My 70s recommendation: The Living Mummy, Gerber's Man Thing, and if you haven't read it, Starlin's Warolocks (followed by the Avengers and Marvel Two-In-One Annuals that ended the storyline).<BR/><BR/>I've never read the Celestial Madonna issues of the Avengers. Those are supposed to be good! And very 70s.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and Happy Birthday, Mr De! You're just a year older than me.

There's a Howard the Duck Essentials also.<BR/><BR/>To answer the third post - at least the second half of the Ant-man series (#7-10 in Marvel Feature) was Craig Russell work, with a short bit from Jim Starlin on #8 doing a lead-in to a reprint. I think it was Russell's first full issue work for Marvel, actually. I've been collecting pages from those issues, as they're one of my favorites from that era.<BR/><BR/>David KirkpatrickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32390006.post-12611197689754013142008-09-18T02:44:00.000-07:002008-09-18T02:44:00.000-07:00Love your work, really fantastic!Congratulations.R...Love your work, really fantastic!<BR/>Congratulations.<BR/>Regards.<BR/><BR/>I invite you to visit<BR/><BR/>www.ruisousaartworks.blogspot.comRui Sousahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507491702403373738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32390006.post-52212659345513214662008-09-16T19:19:00.000-07:002008-09-16T19:19:00.000-07:00I have fond memories of Luke Cage and also of the ...I have fond memories of Luke Cage and also of the run of Ant-Man where he's stuck at ant size.

Could've been their scantily clad outfits. I think they were all "swingers" as well as freedom fighters! hahaha<BR/><BR/>As for other '70s stuff...I love the Essential Doctor Strange stuff--I know, I know, you like Ditko best, but I appreciated how "dark" Marvel tried to get with their horror comics (which Strange flirted with). <BR/><BR/>That being said, Luke Cage is THE man (besides "the" man, that is)--but also treat yourself to some CHESTER HIMES pulp, like "A Rage in Harlem"--whose writings were inspiration for Archie Goodwin's stories. At least that's what 80's Power Man and Iron Fist artist Denys Cowen told me.
