346 – Raza

346 – Raza

I know this character from The Starjammers, a group of Space Pirates who are supporting characters in the X-Men books, designed by the genius of Dave Cockrum, and as a whole vastly underrated and underused characters. That said, I don’t know a lot about this specific character, other than that he had a ponytail and …

345 – The Mandarin

345 – The Mandarin

Kurt Dinse is opening my mind up to an amazing wonderland of ridiculously dressed villains! I’ve known for a long time that most of the classic silver age Marvel villains were all decked out in green and purple, but I had never seen The Mandarin in this get-up before. I’ve only seen him as a …

342 – Man-Thing

Kurt Dinse is a person that I have grown to consider as a friend, despite being two states away and only interacting via internet or during random comic conventions (or as a guest on Gutter Trash via text). Kurt is the creator of One Year in Indiana, a comic I would love even if I …

340 – Captain Britain

I’ve been a fan of this character since the early days of Excalibur. Later on, I picked up the trade paperbacks collecting the Marvel UK stories by Alan Moore and Jamie Delano and absolutely loved them, though I hadn’t read Excalibur since like issue 50 back in the ’90s. I pretty much ignored all C.B. …
