Low content week: Goat-Man?

From Golden Books Masters of the Universe: Secret of the Dragon's Egg, written by Jack C. Harris, illustrated by Luis Eduardo Barreto. Cobbled together this image from a two-page spread, since it wouldn't fit in my scanner. What's up with Beast-Man's lackey Goat-Man? Was he intended for the toy line but never made? I don't recognize him, anyway. How much would it suck to be the lackey's lackey? I leave you with these unanswered questions.

I got this kid's book from a yard sale a couple years back, with another MOTU book, a Fantastic Four, and an Inhumanoids that looks surprisingly creepy, with weird cultists who are tricked into worshipping a giant underground monster, then tricked into betraying said monster to worship trees. Man, it's not as cool as I'm making it sound, but Inhumanoids needs to make a comeback like yesterday.

Low content week: Punisher War Zone #7

From Punisher: War Zone #7, "Mugger's Picnic" Written by Chuck Dixon, pencils by John Romita Jr, inks by Klaus Janson and Mike Manley. A "Carnival of Killers" story, where new mob boss Rosalie Carbone consolidates her power, and plans on getting revenge on the Punisher for betraying her. Meanwhile, Frank's taking a little break, which for him involves an evening shooting criminals in Central Park.

This storyline read far better getting an issue every month or so, rather than in one sitting; partially because a friend of mine started every issue by solemnly announcing: "Last time, on Punisher: War Zone..." Also, if you read it all at once, you'll notice John Romita Jr. didn't draw the whole arc; but Mike Harris, Mike Manley, and J.J. Birch do a good job of keeping the same style throughout.

The cop in the scan is Lynn Michaels, who would for a time take the title of the Punisher. I had to look her up, because I thought she was swept under the rug like Frank's stint as an angel; but Lynn actually appeared recently. Good for her.
