This is probably my favourite ever Hulk cover; the Hulk out cold, being thrown off the Empire State Building by a woman.

Was Defenders 109 the showdown, then, where Valkyrie turns the tables on Enchantress and imprisons her? That would be before she appears in Secret Wars, but I don't know where it might fall in DAZZLER other than after the earliest issues.<br /><br />(My ending can still address that and be different, too; it IS! Think of it as a 1980's post-Defenders time period story, starring chiefly the Avengers, a sequel to the Defenders story you've spotlighted on non-team blogroll for me on the Be Chill Cease ill blogCeasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852602817305513997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408822912223468853.post-17693463189759886012010-05-30T10:50:10.636-05:002010-05-30T10:50:10.636-05:00Oh, awesome, I came here with Valkyrie on my mind!...Oh, awesome, I came here with Valkyrie on my mind! And Tom Wolfe just came up on a friend's fb comment thread! Wow!<br /><br />So, anyway, I'm almost finished with my sequel to Valkyrie's Defenders adventures on integr8dfix.blogspot.com (plug!) and had an Avengers battle over the Destroyer end with Val confronting the Enchantress.<br /><br />But my question is, when did THIS happen:<br /><br /> Barbara Norriss’ body was murdered ... the Valkyrie's spirit and mind were inadvertently freed from their mortal host. With the help of Doctor Strange's magic, Brunnhilde regained her true body, which was rescued from Niffleheim by the Enchantress. Back in her real body, Brunnhilde regained her full memory and normal warrior personality as well. Brunnhilde then battled Amora and banished her to the crystal of souls. (Wiki) My ending was headed for a similar banishment with Norn Stones...Ceasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852602817305513997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408822912223468853.post-66939764990842111592010-05-13T23:33:30.347-05:002010-05-13T23:33:30.347-05:00Tom Wolfe had another, near-brush with The Defende...Tom Wolfe had another, near-brush with The Defenders' history; shortly before this Hulk story (1969?) Tom Wolfe appeared in a Dr. Strange story as himself. It was in the series that continued from "Strange Tales" (#169-183), so it had to be 1968-1969. His appearance was in part of a much longer story that resulted in Dr. Strange adopting the secret identity Stephen Saunders. In fact, I think that was also a Roy Thomas storyline. The reason it was a brush with Defenders' history is that the first 'Stephen Saunders" period story was the 'Undying Ones' storyline that ended his own series and carried over into "Savage Sub-mariner" and "Incredible Hulk". So Tom missed out by mere months!pblfsdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471473189061385119noreply@blogger.com
