My name is Oedi and I soar amidst the stars far from the planet of my birth. I guess this starship is the closest thing I've got to a home now, for I am a refugee and an outlaw. Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Willow 327, Rainbow and Skeevo are my family. We are revolutionaries. Our goal? To bring an end to the 200 year old war between the Instrumentality and the Monarchy!

While we're on the subject, how was Marvel's Tarzan series? Any chance of it being collected?

After that Marvel started creating stories from whole cloth (at the request of the ERB Estate if I recall correctly) and quite frankly they're only fair. The latter were written by David A Kraft & Bill Manto. IIRC Sal Buscema took over the art from his brother.KATS

There seems to be a tendency for many of Marvel's "modern re-colored" classic material to have a very brown palette. The Simonson Thormnibus was a happy exception to this, but this book is a prime example. There was a re-colored JiM #83 that was published a while back, and the "browniness" made all of the outdoor scenes look dark, as if it were always overcast or dusk or something. I actually don't mind most of the modern coloring on modern books, but the older material was produced with the expectation of a very different palette than is commonly used today.
