Captain Canuck was cool. I havenā€™t seen the new one, although it had a good ad in Previews. (Wherein Cap says heā€™ll take on any other Canadian superheroā€¦until heā€™s informed that Wolvieā€™s a Canuck.) ---

However, the Neal Adamsā€™ art on Skateman was a like a siren song lulling me to my doom. I suppose I should reclassify it to the Worst-Comic-By-a-Seasoned-Pro-Who-Should-Know-Better. Itā€™s one thing for some self-publishing amateur to put out dreck, but when a comics legend does it, itā€™s another story.

> [@Scott Plaid](#): > > Growing up, I used to watch the Captain Marvel cartoon, and I always wondered why I didnā€™t see him on the newstands. Then I found out what Marvel comics did to him. Grrrrrrrrr :mad: Captain Marvel? I got yer Captain Marvel right[here](http://ape-law.com/GAF/Page21/). What Captain Marvel cartoon? Thre was the live action show of course (and DC did publish a Shazam! comic in conjunction with that). Do you mean Hero High? The Marvels made appearances there. ---

No, wait, Iā€™m thinking of the live action series. I canā€™t believe I was watching the Shazam cartoons in '81. It was better than _He Man_, I guess. ---
