Too many Etrigans!

It amuses me to think that this is all a convoluted plan to mooch Jason’s food.

A tentacle monster, you say?

Next: Doom Patrol #2.

The transformation scene of Teekl into anthropomorphic cat lady (including the full page splash not reprinted here) is fairly racy and suggestive by Kirby standards. I mean, this is the same artist who once drew a sexy picture of Beautiful Dreamer from the Forever People, but after several fans commented on how sexy it was, he destroyed the drawing because he wasn't comfortable with his work having that effect on viewers. (He may also have been worried about attracting the wrong kind of audience and having to put up with their obnoxious requests for con sketches, but I digress.) This was long before Omaha the Cat Dancer or the whole furry scene begn. I sometimes wonder if some reader of this comic felt...strange feelings about Teekl they didn't understand until years later...

If so, those feelings would have become a lot clearer in about 7 years if they happened across Shakira in Mike Grell's Warlord series.

It was Todd Nauck's version from Young Justice that did it for me.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but wasn't Klarion more like an impish, mischievous, maybe slightly annoying sort in his first appearance?

I think I preferred that to going full on evil jerk here.
