Type Incident In Argos into the blog's search box and you can read my post about it. (And yes - the sub-title WAS typed at the time.)<br /><br />******<br /><br />Thanks, TC. Yeah, the layout has a Gil Kane feel about it, doesn't it? Now, back to bed for me, I only got up to go to the loo.

I also showed the cover and splash page on this here blog of mine some time ago, so you probably saw it again then. Incidentally, it was Monsters On The Prowl #16 (not #6) that the Kull story appeared in, and it was continued from Kull #2, as there was a 10 month gap between #s 2 & 3. Also, did you know that MOTP was called Chamber Of Darkness for its first 8 issues before changing its name?
