Based on the period specified for the Pulp Challenge, if you've got any Heroclix characters who were active during WW2 awaiting repainting, now might be the time to break them out. :)Carrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-27035821125064351382015-12-09T11:00:55.894-08:002015-12-09T11:00:55.894-08:00Thanks Michael.

My plan is to use the side-challenge to simply paint through my collection of "Pulp Miniatures" but Curt has set the period covered as 1850-1950 so I'm sure whatever you've gone for will be appropriate :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-5175154472477958532015-12-09T10:57:49.817-08:002015-12-09T10:57:49.817-08:00Cheers Roger.

She-Hulk's...You're absolutely right, Simon. She-Hulk's last 12-part mini-series was dire! But when John Byrne was pencilling "The Sensational She-Hulk" from issues #1 to #50 in the 1980's, this was when I fell in love with her and made me a life-long fan. Louise "Weezie" Mason was a big part of that series and far more than a minor character.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-57440839835357616722015-12-08T15:23:19.234-08:002015-12-08T15:23:19.234-08:00I do like Bob Murch's sculpts and did have an ...I do like Bob Murch's sculpts and did have an idea for a dozen of his packs, (an idea that didn't come to fruition).<br />Good luck with the challenge, I'm looking forward to seeing what people produce this year.Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-1980672566953980032015-12-08T14:44:32.376-08:002015-12-08T14:44:32.376-08:00Cheers Bryan.

I do hope that you enjoy seeing them finished as much as I believe I will painting them. I certainly think you'll like the Radon Zombies of the Ionosphere :-)<br /><br />I must confess to not being all that much a follower of "She-Hulk", though I did enjoy her initial first series. I do though know you hold the character in high esteem, even collecting that awful recent series (imho). I'm afraid I also know little of the Blonde Phantom being a huge admirer of Doc Savage and The Spider, and only having so much free time to enjoy them. So I'm grateful for your info on her as that strikes me as being a nice tip of the hat by "Marvel Comics" to one of the industry's first female super-heroes.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.com
