The conversation about the Gold Key comics was so lively and a lot of fun! I'm not a fan of the comics, but this morning I rummaged through my shelves and brought the one book I still possess along to peruse on my commute--issue 3. I'm surprised at how well done I found the story, and unlike a lot of the later numbers (from what I have read--memory has failed and I stopped buying the book sometime in 1972, I think), the story actually feels like something that might have been done on DS. You do have to smile at Professor Stokes being addressed as "Dr. Stokes." I think I could hear an astral snort of derision from Dr. Hoffman when I read that, lol.
Last week I enjoyed watching the episode featuring handsome James Storm and his lovely bride, Valerie Pronio. It was interesting to hear Jim mention towards the end that he appeared in an episode of the recent here! TV series, The Lair: Onlyfangs. It looks as if his role isn't documented on IMDB, not surprising given that this series seems kind of ephemeral. I watched a five minute preview of the first episode online and it seemed like a parody of What we do in the shadows, which was already a parody to begin with. As Miss Brodie once commented, "For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing that they like." But the cast is attractive and the sets are beautifully dressed.
