(OK, maybe 20...).<br />Love the classic line from Prof John, and I will confess to being quite bug-eyed myself when it comes to X-Men (But ironically enough, not the issue discussed this month).<br />But that Roomba caption was an all-timer!<br />"We are totally unable to damage the accursed shield of Captain America!"

This time it's Thor #144.<br /><br />http://gmemail.customer.netspace.net.au/MU/thor144.jpg<br /><br />We can see the original pencils on the left. In 2000, a fan commissioned Mike Royer to recreate the cover, as it would've looked if published, and someone on the net colored it for us. It's hard to figure out why this was rejected.<br /><br />Continuing on the artwork front, check out that Steranko pic of Fury talking to Cap on the 1960s videophone.<br /><br />Fury's arms, hands and chest are way too big for his head, and his right leg is way too long. No wonder he can't stand up straight. :0<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Glenn :)GlennMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536558149189057537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830827465735526826.post-49692128015968429462012-07-19T06:43:23.549-07:002012-07-19T06:43:23.549-07:00I prefer to think of it as all Heaven breaking loo...I prefer to think of it as all Heaven breaking loose, but yes, you are quite correct. What they dubbed "the Second Golden Age of Marvel" kicks off in April '68 as the split books start, well, splitting...with CAPTAIN MARVEL and THE SILVER SURFER waiting in the wings.

Regarding the latter's, shall we say, career arc, I do have fond memories of a decent number of pre-Miller issues, especially around the 120s-140s. The question simply becomes when that quality kicks in, which I do NOT remember. So I'll be rediscovering all of this stuff along with any newcomers!<br /><br />Professor Pete, good call on the Cagney/Chaney/Quasimodo resemblance.<br /><br />MODOK is, of course, not a computer, but you get major points for invoking COLOSSUS, a big favorite of mine in both its novel and film incarnations, the latter also admired by Mr. Matheson. For years I've held out the forlorn hope that they would film the remaining volumes in Jones's excellent trilogy, THE FALL OF COLOSSUS and COLOSSUS AND THE CRAB.Matthew Bradleyhttp://bradleyonfilm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
