The Marvel Lucky Bag – October 1968.

Set, yon daylight, and lower the curtain of autumn’s full darkness upon my night. I care not, for my gape is fixed upon other things. Things with makes and draws, whose faces bear the date of this moon of one half-century ago.What wealths will I find within? Yet again, Dormammu’s foiled in his efforts to conquer countries around the world, thanks to his vow to not invade our world.It tones to me like it was a scheme that was never at risk of being subjected to going anywhere.Mar-Vell observes himself up against Quasimodo and someone called Solam.I’m premising Solam’s the large gentleman on the covering. I can say nothing of him or of this story, as I’ve never heard of him and, hence, must be adopted I’ve never spoke the tale.The cover is putting forward another effort in graphic layout from Jim Steranko, although I must admit I don’t think it’s one of his better ones.Not that that are important because It seems this is the issue in which we detect the true identity of Scorpio.Am I misremembering or is he revealed to be Nick Fury’sbrother? Also of importance is that this issue boasts a symbol from a youthful book called Don McGregor. I would be so happy if I found out it’s fantastically long and wordy.Forget the Skrulls and the Kree. We don’t needed here anymore because the galaxy-grappling Badoon make their debut.It’s not especially bad news for the Surfer who I retain having no big impediment in accomplishing them. It is, nonetheless, bad news for humanity who shall afterwards come to know the tyrannical rule of the tongue-flicking opening reptiles.The Tales of the Watcher back-up strip is The Coming of the Krills, which, despite its entitlement, has nothing to so with homicidal prawns but is the dreaded falsehood of a being who agrees to turn off Earth’s explanations when would-be alien attackers volunteer him the most beautiful maid in the universe.Needless to say, it doesn’t turn out well for him and we all learn a valuable lesson we’d be sensible to take heed of.Namor decided not to sort out Tiger Shark who, I foresee, may at this object have taken over leadership of the now-homeless Atlanteans.He’s perhaps also decided to make Dorma as his bride, what with her being, seemingly, the only eligible woman in the whole of Atlantis.Wait! What is this new and strange madness? A insolent comic to be prepared by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber and published by Marvel? How have I was already unaware of this? It would appear to be a one-off collection of deprives that had been produced for men’s adventure periodicals. Of the content of the report, I can say little but I’m sure it’s all too cheeky and unsuitable for my young seeings.
