I knew Clea would be universally loved. I'm thinking Darkstar will get unanimous "hots" next issue too. <br /><br />Siskoid, don't let anyone tell you Commodore 64s weren't cool--I had one too. I never played Questprobe, but I have fond memories of some other text-based games like Tome of Aliard and (of course) Zork.Mike W.http://www.eruditegorilla.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-16226399498832546562017-02-21T11:38:59.107-04:002017-02-21T11:38:59.107-04:00I think it was meant to be a mystery as to whether...I think it was meant to be a mystery as to whether or not Durgan actually WAS the Chief Examiner, or whether Durgan had somehow summoned or created the Examiner to help his people. I noticed in that close-up panel that Durgan has three stubby fingers, rather than the four long, slender fingers on the Chief Examiner...I don't know whether or not this was meant to be a clue about the Examiner's nature.<br /><br />I know that the planned fourth issue of the Questprobe mini-series eventually ran in Marvel Fanfare #33, and the Chief Examiner later reappeared in a storyline in Quasar, but I don't know whether anything about his nature, identity, or mission was actually resolved.<br />Erichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083091864939104540noreply@blogger.com
