All Select Comics #1 70th Anniversary Special

The Blonde Phantom of the 1940s is nothing like the one Spider-man teams with in Marvel Adventures. It’s a bit like a Black Canary knock-off. The mystery of a murdered husband was very good and I liked the twist ending, but the heroine was lacking in substance.

 Then there’s the Marvex reprints about an alien robot who turns against his evil masters and becomes a hero on earth. I liked the two chapters but for some reason Marvex’s appearance changes from human looking to oxidation copper green. No explanation is given.

 Mike Allred contributes with a tribute piece on Marvex and it’s funny. Probably the best thing about the whole book.

Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
