Marvel had an Eraser villain,too, although I don't recall his name (maybe it was "The Eraser"). All I recall is that he fought Giant Man and the Wasp and that I thought the cover was as lame as the Batman cover and refused to read it, also.<BR/><BR/>And you're talking about a kid who read dozens of comics a day.

The internal containers had broken open en route, so when the boxes were opened, it was all a mess. Cage, depressed, stuffed his box in a closet.<BR/><BR/>Riley on the other hand, sat down with a pair of tweezers and different size sifters and, grain by grain, began to separate the mess back into heir individual and appropriate containers.<BR/><BR/>He told Cage later, "Anytime you want to get started on your box, just let me know."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-15986776274425295072007-05-10T11:26:00.000-05:002007-05-10T11:26:00.000-05:00It's one of my favorites too...I also like on gene...It's one of my favorites too...<BR/><BR/>I also like on genedeitch.com/ on page 9, his "The Explain Everything Book".

That's what makes life as truly marvelous as it is. I can't think of a single friend that I keep, who doesn't delight me in some odd ball way from time to time. As for Ellison (who I think has a man crush on me C/:0=) someone who you and I both know, but I'll never say on line who, recently wrote to me, "Harlan's happy as long as he's getting attention." The man can't bare not being talked about, good or bad, I'd be willing to bet. He may even seek out this blog, by googling his name (hey, we all do it) and start ranting on it. He knows that more people would be reading about him if he did.Christopher Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16805942313835669938noreply@blogger.com
