*Marvel: Okay, this is an oddity; the 1970s revival of Strange Tales restarted with the ‘classic’ numbering of #169, and featured Brother Voodoo, a peculiar attempt at a heroic practitioner of, duh, voodoo, intended to broaden the heroic market, and tap into both the ‘blaxploitation’ and horror crazes around at the time. Len Wein and Gene Colan were the creative team, so it was competently done, but a fundamental misunderstanding of voodoo, plus objections to the depiction of non-Christian religion and severe criticism about the portrayal of non-white characters, meant that the heroic sojourn of Jericho Drumm, intermittently possessed by the ghost of his identical twin Daniel, stuttered to a halt within five issues, to be replaced by the hastily thrown-together Golem. That might have been it for this Bronze Age update of Quality’s old Captain triumph (look it up if you want the reference), but for the excessive zeal of fan-turned pro writers, who brought the character back from oblivion. He’s been a Skrull: he’s been the Scarlet Witch (kind of) and now he’s Doctor Voodoo, Sorcerer Supreme of the Marvel Universe! Get the early appearances of this bizarre and unique series here; his debut, pictured, is VG £25, would grade higher for a small lower cover tear and accompanying diagonal crease, but still a bright and glossy copy. The entire first run of Brother Voodoo, none of which were ever distributed in the UK, is now in stock. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
