Marvel vs DC (Comics)

I remember Spectre as a kid. Not sure if he’s still around. The Spectre stories were more “pulpy” than the others.

Those four simple tones that begin the theme song still promise to jerk a tear out of me, even now all these years later.

I think it was at Bill Bixby’s instance that character stay close to the comic version. Although it deviated in it’s own way, it was truly Bixby’s show. He was a fine actor who would not allow the kind of silly scripts that sank the “bionic” superheroes of the day. The were more “noirish”. I remember one early episode of Banner waking up from one of his “hulk-outs” at the scene of a murder, and terrified that the Hulk killed a woman.
Stories like that were never done on ofther superhero shows of the day.
