• Flashback Fridays - August 2nd 2013 Edition



    Welcome to another edition of Flashback Fridays, the column where we take a trip back in time through the chart-topping highs and murky depths of Alpha-lore. Without further ado here's this week's panel(s)...



    Taken from Alpha Flight (Vol.1) #28 this panel marks John Byrne's final issue on the title and although he would later draw a few covers and the packaging for the Alpha Flight figure line, the final time he would write and draw Alpha Flight sequentially.

    If you've got a panel/page of an Alpha Appearance you'd like featured in a future edition of Flashback Fridays PM or e-mail me with either a .jpg or title/issue/page/panel number of your choice. You don't have to give a reason and you can remain anonymous if you wish.

      And after that hit, Sasquatch worried that if he phased out of Box, the injury of his mechanoid might be his injury too and he'd die; then Jeffries fixed it. Hooray!!

      The thing I really hated was when Mignola drew Box as hollow in the next issue. Just because Bochs/Langkowski could phase into the Box robot shouldn't mean that there is no circuitry or "guts" on the inside.

      I noticed that! Never made sense, but I don't think I thought about it. ~ Le Messor "Let he who takes the plunge remember to return it by Tuesday."

      BOX's DEATH! I think that moment calls for another friday flashback. (phil, you know what to do) also Le Messor nothing youve said is half as offensive as the writers were; didn't they openly refer to the man as a 'legless cripple', and 'Half a man'?
