Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Jim Aparo For The Win Edition

Posted on by

When I was in school (back in the Cretaceous Period), Otter Disaster and I shared a love of the comic adventures of The Spectre.  Trouble was, the John Ostrander version of Specs that he loved and the Michael Fleischer version that I loved were almost entirely different characters.  The M.S.P. crew occasionally discuss the different editorial takes on an iconic character like Batman or Spider-Man, but secondary characters such as The Spectre, Captain Atom or Star-Lord get COMPLETELY revamped and rejiggered with every new iteration.

The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) thinks you look a bit familiar, but can’t place the green booties, asking:  Which characters do you end up loving in multiple (even contradictory) incarnations?
