gunsmokin Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 makes sense. Sure didn't look like Ayers. I love Ditko's inks but they always throw me off a bit when I look at Jack's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) It is an interesting ink job, isn’t it? gray-tone, ink wash-ey feel. I hadn’t really given that cover its due!

Getoutandstayout Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Any pre-hero Atlas in a 9.0 grade is a worthy addition to anyone's collection. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Another Saturday night, another Svengoolie feature - "Dr. Cyclops" from 1940. Its about a crazy Doctor shrinking animals & people based on a Thrilling Wonder Stories pulp : Reminded me of this cover: Of course there are many sci-fi/fantasy/PCH stories of this type (people in bee hives & ant hills anyone?), but this caught my attention because it was released back in 1940. It was directed by Ernest B. Schoedsack who also did King Kong a few years earlier and was the first horror movie done in 3-strip Technicolor (according to Wiki). .

bc Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Watching the first GotG movie again and keyed in on this exchange: Hmmm, 89 times? Of all numbers to pick.....is that a hidden reference to honor another earlier PHM legend? -bc Edited April 4, 2019 by bc words be hard KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 If that was an Easter Egg, it was designed for maybe 14 people. So basically... just this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, of all the potential integers they could use in the -script.....they picked 89. Until Groot was in the movie, Fin Fang Foom was the only real featured creature in this genre. Just odd enough to comment on -bc Edited April 4, 2019 by bc typo #1,249 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I would dearly love for your theory to be true! Screw it, I’m on board! Geek check. FFF (10-61) is not earlier than Groot (11-60). 1950's war comics and bc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What cracks me up on a lot of these PHM covers is how the dialogue demonstrates people's awareness that the creature of the month exists and could be nearby. If I lived in a world like that, I'm not sure I would leave the house, much less check out the bottom of the ocean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
