[The Australian Panther]

Well, we don;t have to host them.
[Lousy stories, bottom of the barrel art despite several good artists are shoehorned in, an an overall sleazy attitude.] That was exactly why I didn't pick those up back in the day. Shunned them actually.
But all comics are history and I don't believe in censoring history. My attitude now is that overall they are still not my thing, but I can find a lot to like and to find out from them.
Quite likely a lot of the creators would have preferred to be doing something else, but hey, you have to eat.
This was Brodsky and Waldman's company and if you look at the names listed on page 3 they are all people who at that time were primarily associated with Marvel. This implies a degree of dissatisfaction with Marvel that in most of the 'Histories' goes unsaid.
It's also clear that Brodsky and Waldman did not have Stan Lee's abilities. Not by a long shot. I also understand that their timing was pretty lousy.
