I’m really glad I may have been of help.
So when you wrote the Scarecrow stories you were about just 20 years old? That’s awesome, it’s so well written. A thing I like about the character is that, due to the misfortune he could not have had a continuing series, no one tampered with it in the last years, as they unfortunately did with some other characters (the Son of Satan, Warlock), turning them into caricatures or worse.
Thanks to the presence of the other Scarecrow, the Iron Man foe (from Tales of Suspense: coincidence?), the character fell into a fortunate “limbo”.
I liked the way Roy Thomas re-used it in the 1990s in “The Great Fear” storyline eventually turning him into an ally for Doctor Strange, but I did not like the fact that he made him speak. Its uniqueness came to the frightening fact he did not speak, and laughed. Great work!
