Thank you for the Downton Abbey reference! There's such a small overlap of topics I can talk about with my beautiful wife. "See, sweetie, the Earl of Grantham is just like Mr. Fantastic!"
Taschen needs to publish all of the classic marvel/dc runs from high cgc photography. This is how I want to read these comics. Heck, I would even go for a smaller paperback edition just for that old-fashioned experience.
I'm probably too late for this to be seen, but for those who are here and interested, Taschen is having a sale this weekend, and the big-ass FF book is half-priced.
My guess for the Hollywood cowboy is James Arness as Matt Dillon from the old GUNSMOKE series that was on TV for 20 years, from 1955 to 1975. Good job on your voice acting for The Thing, by the way.
It’s interesting how the Sub-Mariner is so drastically different looking from all of the other characters. His face, his stature, it’s like he’s from some other comic.
Great insights as always. So Alicia looka like Sue and Crystal looks Alicia. Wasn't Kirby known for the young women he drew looking similar in the face? Akira Toriyama was known for that too and in his pre-Dragonball manga "Dr. Slump", the women in that comic impersonate each other time to time and justify it in fourth wall breaking gag of Toriyama's inability to draw more than one female face. In the Marvel Saga comic in the 1980s by Peter Sanderson that recounted the early history of the Marvel Universe, Namor's cigarette was taken out when the panel of his reveal was used. The Marvel Saga issue showed pictures of Reed and Ben's traps, but didn't show Johnny's, probably not wanting to show stereotypical African natives. When Reed comes from under rhe boulder, he looks like Flatman that Byrne introduced as a member of the Great Lakes Avengers. "SN Studios" Sub N'amour Studios? 😂😂 I know Greg Weisman, creator of Gargoyles, grew up on comic books and many of the Gargoyles adversaries are corporate executives, but Demona the immortal gargoyle is the founder of her own company and her wealth is what she has hoarded for over 1,000 years, which reminded me of Namor.
At 13:32 we see one of those very strange Sue faces that Dick Ayers would occasionally rush-through to make his deadline. Chic Stone would soon enter the picture and Chic's work always looked cool and casual...
also think the blonde girl in the restaurant with sue & subbie is brigette bardot?....and it is funny how subbie is now okay with the humans after siccing his underwater monster on manhatten!....would be interesting to come up with some excuse for this love fest with namor.
First, thanks for reminding me just how good the Kirby/Lee 100 was. Sadly, nobody at Marvel Studios has the imagination and respect for Jack to recognize the genius of his design work. Instead, this new crop of 'producers' has chosen Sid Mead's illustrations as the basis for the upcoming M'C'U( well, at least it appears that the MSheU is finally dying) F.F. movie. But using the baby blue and white John Byrne colors is another kick in the nuts to the King. I don't know if you caught the leaked footage from ComicCon before it was deleted, but with a 'Dating Game' scene with Ben as Bachelor #3, this looks more like the animated 1994 Season 1 of that series. And it was...BAD. Oley Sassone's 1994 F.F. movie remains unchallenged. But yeah... I go see it when the new one releases. Whatever it is.
do not think that was Jackie gleason?....but who could it be? comment:i should know the answer since i am an old gizer....love the comment on bing crosby looking like david bowie.....
hi ned, i still do not think that was Jackie Gleason.....still think it was someone else.....but can i prove it?, .....no....wish i could recall who else it could have been.
starting a volcano may be a nice trick. The affects don’t just burden the surrounding area . It effects the world with the ash. Almost like a nuclear winter. A good example is the summer spent indoors where mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein. I think it was because of Mountain Vesuvius blowing. It reminds me of all those comics and cartoons were some one steals the moon or destroys the moon as a show of power. That in it self would destroy the earth of almost all life at least
Ever notice on marvel. There are characters that never get a break. The loose to weaker foes. And act of good always happens. Some times the good that they do dose not balance with the hatred they receive. How many times has the hero storm who has magnito level power lost to others because she is holding back. It also seems to be a double whammy that she is female and black. And always being written by white men, is there an underline bit of misogyny and racism. Given that media’s views have been seen through the white make lens.

Kirby is unequaled!
Would love to see some more Thor-day episodes as well!
I've liked both of your comments and I swear this isn't my alt. I'm just totally simpatico with what John thinks.

That was my guess too and the saloon girl I figured was Miss Kitty.

Well you’re kind dead on. He’s from a the golden age, right?
Pretty sure that's Matt Dillon and Miss Kitty from Gunsmoke, up front as the cowboy and Lady, at the Hollywood studio.
What he said.
4:58 The Thing is hugging it out. What a sweetheart!
Interesting to see how much Byrne stole from this issue for his 90s Namor series...great episode!
The cowboy and the woman in front of him are probably Marshall Matt Dillion (James Arness) and Miss Kitty (Amanda Blake) from Gunsmoke

At 6:00, that's James Arness as Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke. You can see Miss Kitty in front of him.
YES and James Arness played the frozen space creature in the film... y'know... 'THE THING' !!
🔥💟🖤 AWESOME VIDEO 🖤💟🔥 TOM🤩😎🤪
The Cyclops looks like a 1 eyed version of Gargantus, from the first Ironman story when he sprayed his gray suit, Gold.
The cowboy is James Arness of Gunsmoke.

Comics used to be fun! 😊

What are you babbling about?
These early FFs are so great. The public is always turning on them., the grouchier Thing. Compare this to anything coming out of DC at the time.
do not think that was Jackie gleason?....but who could it be? comment:i should know the answer since i am an old gizer....love the comment on bing crosby looking like david bowie.....
Kirby did a rare comicstrip for CRACKED circa '59 parodying THE HONEYMOONERS so yes he had ready photoreference for drawing Jackie...
hi ned, i still do not think that was Jackie Gleason.....still think it was someone else.....but can i prove it?, .....no....wish i could recall who else it could have been.

I think the cyclops is an offspring of Poseidon
