Gerber was a chainsmoker, but by all accounts not a stoner (unlike Englehart and Starlin especially) - he just had a naturally freaky mind.

FYI, Gerber and post-Gerber HTD (including the b&w magazine) has been recently re-collected in three full-color (aside from the b&w magazine) trades with a fourth coming sometime later this year.

i was wondering recently as i paged through an old claremont/byrne X-Men whether any Russian ever exclaimed "Lenin's Ghost!" or whether that was something Claremont made up.

I suppose you have limited wiggle room when your totalitarian leader insists upon your incorporation of both his name and his anatomy in your gasping, choking exclamations.
