Be...I like ‘em both, Chris! …Especially Slezak. <br /><br />Between you and Anon, we might have the perfect Einmug and Chief O’Hara! Indeed, I may never again look at Victor McLaglen and not think of Chief O’Hara! …And vice-versa! <br /><br />Though, I always kinda saw David Hedison as Doberman since first reading (what was then) “Mickey Mouse and his Sky Adventure” in the first Gold Key reprint, during the actual run of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. I *WAS* an impressionable youth back then, you know…Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-32074009008491322612012-11-20T11:01:21.058-05:002012-11-20T11:01:21.058-05:00Joe,

Particularly Victor McLaglen as Chief O' Hara! <br /><br />Thankfully, I am able to reproduce the comment from my e-mail, and my apologies to Anon for my early-morning, pre-coffee mistake!Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.com
