• Flashback Fridays - August 16th 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)...


    Plot - Scott Lobdell, Script - Simon Furman, Pencils - Pat Broderick, Inks - Bruce Patterson, Colours - Bob Sharen, Letters - Janice Chang


    Taken from 1992's retcon-tastic Alpha Flight Special, this final page always sticks with me for it's montage of the Volume One cast and those final words - "There will always be an Alpha Flight"


    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.

      Is that Manikin or Feedback between Northstar and Weapon Omega? DK X-Men Guide says Feedback. DK X-Men Guide also identifies Smart Alec (upper right corner tiny head) as Groundhog, but yeah.

      Gotta be Manikin; Flashback has dark hair. And was seen as a member. And would've been in Beta Flight about the time of this special.

      The worst part is, I never learned to read!

      Hey, Feedback could join the Electric Company!
