I run the <A HREF="http://adventure247.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Legion Omnicom</A>, a blog that chronicles the Legion of Super-Heroes - and hey, what a coincidence, you're writing some episodes of the animated series! I'd like to ask a few questions for a post over there, if I'm allowed to pry any information out of you.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-49798666948252107312007-03-28T15:33:00.000-04:002007-03-28T15:33:00.000-04:00Come on, JMD, do it!

As for changes in the script...well, considering this story was written in (I think) l979, I have no recollection whatsoever!<BR/><BR/>If only I could write a story for Ditko NOW...<BR/><BR/>JMDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-68544023272894825762007-03-28T12:10:00.000-04:002007-03-28T12:10:00.000-04:00Man, I was kind of looking forward to the possibil...Man, I was kind of looking forward to the possibility of Doctor Mayavale animated.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reply, JMD. To answer part of Nick's question, the only other DeMatteis/Ditko story I have on record is the 7-page "The Dimensions of Greed" in TIME WARP #3 [1980]. Look for a post on that later this week.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357760578699371017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-5479200168657290482007-03-28T09:29:00.000-04:002007-03-28T09:29:00.000-04:00Hello Mr. DeMatteis,You certainly have a good atti...Hello Mr. DeMatteis,<BR/><BR/>You certainly have a good attitude with resepect to this early effort of yours. Since you are the author I thought I'd ask you how closely Ditko followed your script (I assume this was full script). were there any changes you recall or did he pretty much put on paper what you scripted? Did Ditko ever pencil any of your other stories? <BR/><BR/>Nick CaputoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-69388563030536705332007-03-27T17:18:00.000-04:002007-03-27T17:18:00.000-04:00Don't worry, guys—I wouldn't think of adapting thi...Don't worry, guys—I wouldn't think of adapting this story for the Legion cartoon.<BR/><BR/>Oh, how the errors of our youth follow us down through the decades!<BR/><BR/>J.M.

One note of trivia: It appears the "I Like Ike" button was lettered in by Ditko.<BR/><BR/>Nick CaputoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19782351.post-43729793960618367342007-03-26T17:54:00.000-04:002007-03-26T17:54:00.000-04:00I'm sorry I made you read this.

I shudder to think of him adapting this story for the small screen, but there's no way it can be worse.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.com
