Today in Comics History, September 21: Happy birthday, Mastodon!

Born on this date in 1952: Dave Landers, better known to us as everybody's favorite Displaced Paranormal: Mastodon! Frankly, I can't see why he would be displaced — how could you possible move that guy! he was one of the most visible characters in the 1980s New Universe. You can tell he's from the eighties because of those adorable furry shoulder pads.
