As I said the "missing years" are an endless source of fascination for me, particularly the baffling decision to return the X-Men to their old "yellow bib" uniforms.<br /><br />Take care! *DiBiase laugh*GomessQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528386746474077403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500721091340832877.post-41401774028803298902015-09-09T13:21:19.013-04:002015-09-09T13:21:19.013-04:00Thanks for the feedback, GomessQ!

Ted Dibiase was absolutely one of my favorite WWE stars - loved the attitude and swagger he brought to the squared circle!<br /><br />In his neat cameo in Shanna #5, Professor X was presented solely as an expert on mutants - no mention was made of his connection to the X-Men, though I'm sure his association with the team needed no explanation to many reading the book at the time. <br /><br />Writer Steve Gerber, along with Steve Englehart, championed the X-Men in the early 70s while the mutants were 'between engagements' and had them pop up in the various titles they wrote. This helped keep the X-Men in peoples' minds before they blew up a year or two later.<br /><br />Thanks for listening!marksweeneyjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798312028718544923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500721091340832877.post-59672294739740008782015-09-04T10:41:24.292-04:002015-09-04T10:41:24.292-04:00Disagree with the feedback, your podcast doesn'...Disagree with the feedback, your podcast doesn't suck at all! I certainly appreciated the Million Dollar Man reference.<br /><br />So I'm hoping you still have Shanna #5 knocking about somewhere, because I'm super curious about those "missing years" of the X-Men and wonder if you wouldn't mind sharing a bit more about Xavier's appearance therein? Does he mention any of the X-Men at all?<br /><br />Cheers!GomessQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528386746474077403noreply@blogger.com
