Here's an early house ad for the FF:

Thought you guys may like these.

Nice one here

Mole Man

The Big G himself

A Bowen production

Interesting production of SS, this was never released I understand

Wow, the power cosmic is really something, able to lift mountains no doubt

Terrax looks kindof lovable here.

^ I particularly like the Nova bust.
But I prefer Mole Man more on the rotund side.
Galactus looks like he's hit the SlimFast, too. t:

That Bowen Surfer is sweet.

 

[Joe Rockhead]

I was always partial to the Bowen Thing bust - complete with stogie.

 

[Malus]

^ Nice.
I just realized my three favorite comics characters all smoke cigars:
Ben Grimm, Howard the Duck and Albert from Pogo.

Did DOC SAVAGE inspire
THE FANTASTIC FOUR?

I found this intriguing 4-part essay at DIAL B FOR BLOG, "the world's greatest comics blogazine," by Robby Reed: http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/48/

Yeah I found that Nova bust interesting too.

And I think that Big G statue was commissioned shortly after he decided not to eat the earth on his first visit.

It was a very rough time for the Devourer. t:

If you go to the article from the link... it explains it all, including how the author put together that cover.

The author puts together all kinds of cool mock covers like that.
Dial B For Blog is like a comics nostalgia candy store!

I'm digging it, I'm digging it, I'm digging it.

I'm learning how to post things that I scan. I gotta get my Marvel Stamp books posted with that great mid seventies take on the art. As cheap as it was that was one of my favorite Christmas presents.

 

[Agent 194]

Then I'm going to post my Marvel thumb nail comics. I've kept them all these years without opening them (as the add from Lone Star comics advised us to do)

Some of the technical end of things still gives me grief.

Here's an odd one I found using image search.
Anyone know what this was or when it was published?

 

[Agent 194]

Can you give us a closer look at it? Or a way to blow it up?

 

[Malus]

Can you give us a closer look at it? Or a way to blow it up?

I blew it up a bit but I don't think it helped much.
The only thing I know about it is the year: 1969. That was in the image title.

 

[Carp Man]

Awsome. t: t:

Thats from England. I've got a copy if you are interested in a synopsis I can break it out.

Ah, Grog. I was hoping you would chime in once we transformed this into a memorabilia thread. You certainly have an outstanding collection of things FF.
Please feel free to expound upon any FF item.

I'm sure everyone would love to see your terrific FF collectibles page, if you'd care to post a link

Wow, I really dig these. Check out that Johnny Quest-ish theme and incidental music. And dig the voices of Vic Perin (control voice from original Outer Limits) as the Silver Surfer- Don Messick (Scooby Doo) as Johnny , and the great Ted Cassidy (Lurch -Addams Family) as the voice of Galactus. Too cool.

 

[Agent 194]

As simplistic as these are they stay closer to the source material than the movie. I enjoy these. Fun.
