"Hmmm. I think I see what you're getting at, but it's still somewhat outside my framework. I'll give it another go. First, I never look down on anyone's hobby, having experienced that myself. You're a big football fan who…"

"Wojo was intimidated by Harris, who was pretty smart, and both of them -- and Barney, and Fish -- were intimidated by Dietrich, who knew everything. Yemana was not intimidated by Deitrich, because he was cool like that."

Richard Willis replied to Captain Comics's discussion TV shows I am binging

"Back then, before Magnum, Wojo was the only Vietnam vet portrayed on TV (or in the movies) who wasn't a criminal, a lunatic or both. I kinda appreciated that, even though he wasn't portrayed as very smart."

"I like Barrie Youngfellow... just caught her in an episode of Barney Miller a few weeks ago. And she's Gary Sandy's love interest (and Linda Rondstadt stand-in) in a memorable (if not particularly good) episode of WKRP."

The bodies of the H.A.R.D. Corps members were implanted with technology that would allow them to utilize one Harbinger power (such as strength or invulnerability) at a time. H.A.R.D. Corps #4 was my first Valiant book.
