Anyway, I love your funny line about FF 48 and you reminded me of my favorite FF film post on the IMDB Message Boards, back before they ended them. The title of the post was, "Galactus is a Cloud, This is for Dumb People."Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650921114832558648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-37587731848473655322016-03-05T22:31:30.395+00:002016-03-05T22:31:30.395+00:00The feeling's mutual, Paul.

I think this was his only time penciling the Hulk series.

...Interesting, Steve? Predictable is more like it.<br /><br />So Kraven dressed up as Spiderman, committed a few crimes and got beaten up in an empty building...? Well I could do that!<br />But I couldn't eat a planet.<br />There you have it in a nutshell, why I prefer the FF to Spidey, and Kirby over Ditko. Thor v Hercules, Galactus... Kirby was really taking off this month (and didn't come down til the late 70s).<br /><br />Never seen that Strange Tales cover before, but I like it. Those flying figures are great (I've always been a sucker for ridiculous Kirby tech)<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-85701073747791359992016-03-02T22:30:50.849+00:002016-03-02T22:30:50.849+00:00Interesting that that kit's just $21 on Amazon...Interesting that that kit's just $21 on Amazon.com but a walloping £91 ($129) on Amazon UK.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-67197452346878689202016-03-02T22:26:59.350+00:002016-03-02T22:26:59.350+00:00Dangermash, that is epic.
