Hellstorm was to have had Druid placed in a large covered turine and served to these demons and other magic users...<br /><br />The guest of honor was to have been DR STRANGE (who had been disturbed by Hellstorm's new attitudes in the Hellstorm series - # 2, I believe).<br />This was all to have been a continuation of the Hellstorm series in a way.<br /><br />Sadly, that never came to pass, but I never forgot that solicitation.<br /><br />I may even have the clipping in my archives.<br /><br />I will admit to being one of the very few who kinda liked Dr Druid (in any incarnation).~P~https://www.blogger.com/profile/09299078564477985626noreply@blogger.com
