'One Way Ticket, where this beautiful Russ Heath woman is completely dedicated to her husband but it makes him disgusted for some reason. He ends up killing her because she's too subservient. It seems like it was written for little boys that hate girls. It's a silly story but it's maybe my favourite of his.nutsilica.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816159328601948660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-55190209438044340262021-12-08T05:12:43.394-08:002021-12-08T05:12:43.394-08:00I guess that Heath had essentially caught his stri...I guess that Heath had essentially caught his stride by the time that he illustrated this story, though he later did more polished work. In this case, the lettering and coloring (by others) scream “DC”, though Heath was doing eight-page stories for Atlas at the same time. <br /><br />I cannot much believe that the Huns could not hit Marcus or Lucia with either a spear or an arrow, and could not outrace <i>armored</i> people on horseback. Of course, before that, there's a catapult that is swiftly reloaded and re-aimed, and the whole bizarre business of Huns superstitiously quitting because of loss of a sword. <br /><br />Various plausible stories are told of the death of Attila. The most interesting that I have encountered is that he was wed to an unwilling bride, got drunk during a wedding feast, and slammed his face into a pole in the tent in which his new wife was waiting, then fell on his back and drown in his own blood, as the woman watched without summoning help. (I wouldn't blame her.)Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-84908810778364553072021-12-08T03:21:06.533-08:002021-12-08T03:21:06.533-08:00Capture Atilla's sword and the invasion of the...Capture Atilla's sword and the invasion of the barbarian hordes is over.
