Well, tie me up and tickle me silly. Marvel's Hellfire Club is a bunch of homages, starting with the Avengers. No, not those Avengers. The real ones, with Steed.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It sounds like you need to borrow my DVD of A Touch of Brimstone.

I've seen the episode--I just never made the connection.

I'm not good with that sort of memory--I read the comic way after seeing the episode--I couldn't tell you the guest actors/characters from any of the TV I watched in the early 80s.

Love that episode. Diana Rigg's outfit (you know the one) is etched into my memory. Also, the ep features a pre-Python appearence by Carol Cleveland.

Some strange stuff happens with Storm's face, but the body language is beautiful throughout the fight.

That was Paul Smith? I loved his art on the book. One of my favorite runs on X-men. How cool is Ororo's knife-snatch out of the air?
