Author Topic: Doctor Mayavale! Stu Time Trapper posted                        I FINALLY read LSH 268 -- the infamous Doctor Mayavale story. And... I LOVED it!

He always spoke fondly of you on this board From: If you don't want my peaches, honey... | Registered: Sep 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Omni Craig Advisor posted                        What STU, are you trying to get yourself banned again? It didn't work for me, but I'm glad it spoke to someone! IMHO, when you combine a weak story with "later" Ditko art, it just isn't a very compelling book. And Mayavale himself was just a freaky dude to begin with... -------------------- Craig C. - Time travel stories are told in chronillogical order.

What did you love about it Stu? -------------------- Holy Cats of Egypt!

The Legionnaires' involvement was pretty straightforward, and the discussion of reincarnation was a notch above the comic book norm, yet I can't imagine that the character design of the good doctor wasn't meant to evoke a giggle or two, as well as lines like the following: "And Doctor Mayavale laughs for a full hour..."

Who knew that Richie Rich's family got rich because Richie's dad sold Grit as a boy...?

And there's nothing like a good laugh to shake the cobwebs outta one's mind! An hour of laughter a day keeps the Doctor in play, I always say! -------------------- I LIKE IKE!!

And, of course, Dream Girl demonstrating some good ol' fashioned Naltorian ass-kicking...
