Crackity Jones' Discovery Of Alpha Flight

[Garry/Al-Fan]

I can only guess that the reason these things were allowed to happen is because the editor(s)/publisher green-lighted/approved them to happen.
In the 80's I couldn't take it anymore (#55), quit (caring) with #56, only occassionally picking it up (#s 64, 66, 67). Changing writers wasn't enough to keep me, at the time, although I thought the DreamQueen's origin was good.

Since then, I've filled in volume 1, with one exception (#105, I think it is); but I have never gotten over the poor execution/crappy stories that were published during the Mantlo era.

The early Mantlo era tried to pass off Alpha Flight as a family when just about everybody wasn't acting very family-oriented. That's one of the things that really irked me.
