Great Stan Lee dialogue
Think about what the Impossible Man is saying in this panel from FANTASTIC FOUR# 11, February 1963 (a thousand years ago).



Stan scripted these stories so quickly, as he was writing and editing nearly the entire Marvel line-up at the time. This gives the scripts much of their adlib, impromptu nature; and once in a while, Stan batted out a line of genius with really giving it much thought.

Wait, how does that work again?
Figure this one out. It's a sequence from "The Return of Doctor Doom!" in THE FANTASTIC FOUR# 10, January 1963. Script by Stan Lee, art by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers.




So. Alicia Masters is a talented sculptor (well, her father was the Puppet Master, so you can see how she grew up with the materials around her), despite the fact that she's blind. She touches people and things to get a sense of what they look like and carves statues that are quite accurate. So far, okay, not out of the limits of the possible and (by comic book standards, quite modest a claim).

Yet how does she create these little figurines of finks like Dr Doom, the Sub-Mariner, the Skrulls? The Fantastic Four had only met the Mole Man once at this point, certainly hadn't taken any photos of him.(The statuettes are in great poses, by the way, very expressive of the subjects' personalities). Did Ben talk her through the process? How long would that take? Weeks, months? ("Naw, honey, the Miracle Man's waist was slimmer...")

There's only one answer that makes sense to me. Despite the fact he had fingers as thick as cigars, with only three fingers and a thumb on each hand, Ben was actually the sculptor! He was using Alicia as a front, because he thought his artistic inclinations were too sissy for a guy in 1963...

Pinky, the gay Howling Commando!
Photobucket

No, not THAT guy. Ever since I heard Stan Lee claim that he made a soldier gay way back in the day, I've been curious to see Percival "Pinky" Pinkerton.

Fantastic Four #5: "The Fantast Four Meet... DOCTOR DOOM"

I saw a comment from [info]magnetic_regina asking whether the Debut of Doom had been posted, and amazingly, it hasn't. Rectified!

"Prisoners of Doctor Doom!" was published July, 1962. After much deliberation, I narrowed down the preview image to just one of the many crackalicious panels:

One perfect moment: Amazing Spiderman
An old but goodie, when the hero was measured by the strength of his heart, not his might.

(If we are going to end One Perfect Moment, better to end it on a high note.)

The Origin of The Shocker
This is my First Post so I thought I'd keep it simple and easy. I've read the rules and I hope this all goes right.

Here's the origin one of my (inexplicably) favourite C-list villains, The Shocker.
