And suddenly Frank Brunner is gone. 70s Marvel was a tumultuous place, especially in the realm of creator rights, and sudden dismissals or spur of the moment quitting were not uncommon. But rest easy, there's some fantastic artists stepping to fill his shoes.
This issue marks the last of the openly satiric of Marvel Howard stories. It begins with a spot-on parody of Don McGregor and Craig Russell's Killraven, and winds up with a parody of Master of Kung-Fu. In three issues, Howard has mocked quite expertly the major genres that his parent company publishes. Now things start to get weird.
More to come...
(Edit: Just realized that it wasn't this issue that opened with the Killraven parody. It was yesterday's. I'm going to plead marking season. My brain aches.)
