Bet you didn't expect to see someone punch an ichthyosaur so hard it exploded today.

RIP to the Time Tower, which we never quite understood but thought was pretty cool anyway.

Steve Englehart introduced Slitherogue as the big bad two issues ago. Bill Mantlo unceremoniously kills him off as soon as he takes over the book.

I guess they figured he’d just never take off his helmet!
("Magic, Myth, and Madness!" - Skull the Slayer #5, written by Bill Mantlo, art by Sal Buscema and Sonny Trinidad, letters by Karen Mantlo, colors by Michele Wolfman, edited by Marv Wolfman, ©1976 Marvel Comics)

Hey, remember those supporting cast members that Steve Englehart killed off last issue? Well, Bill Mantlo brought them back because he decided that he liked them.

Skull the Slayer decks a robo-Merlin in a sequence that sums up just how nuts this series winds up getting.

Calling all cougars and the ones who love them!
NEW EP! We're joined by @marvelbythemonth.com to talk about THE COUGAR. It started as a Kolchak comic, then became "What if Burt Lancaster was an adventurer/stuntman?" & morphed into: a guy walking around in thermal underwear & a wrestling belt fighting monsters.
