Is It a Silly Place?

Camelot 3000 was DC's first maxiseries. I bought its original run. Written by Mike Barr and drawn by Brian Bolland, IT WAS EPIC!

This preview ran in Amazing Heroes #14, its August 1982 issue.

Man, those aliens always made me think of big bugs.  And if you think that ol' Merlin was a bit of an SOB, you ain't alone.  Yet as a hopeless Anglophile, I was suckered in.

Compare it, if you wish to a segment from Twilight Zone '85 called "The Last Defender of Camelot," based on a Zelazny tale.

See you Monday!
