World of Suspense #1 always reminds me of a Mad Magazine drawing. There's something about the spirit on the tablecloth. I need World of Fantasy #7 for the set now. That’s a hard comic to find a nice VG or better copy. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFF has been in a lot more modern series & cartoons than I thought according to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_Fang_Foom Fin Fang Four Guess he appeared in some form as an Easter Egg in the first Iron Man movie as well...have to look for that the next time its on.

Not sure if this is funny or sad. Reminds me of the Peter Porker or Obnoxia the Clown issues. Although the dragon circle around the "4" is pretty catchy....

Bronty Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I understand , but I think any mainstream appearances are a good thing to be honest. 👍🏻 bc and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until I saw the wikipedia page, never could have imagined the amount of modern appearances FFF has made alone and as kj pointed out, that's not including Xemnu and the other cast of PHM characters. There's an annual convention this weekend near me - other than looking for World of Fantasy issues for the guys, might have to check these out.

I think this is the first PHM to make the list without a super-hero appearance (i.e. TTA 13). Validation, Brothers! Right on!Now if only I didn't have one of the worst tape pulls of all time on my copy!

Mucheee1 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 My mother in law is big into watching cartoons on TV with Marvel characters. One of the cartoons we watched while visiting her was Guardians of the Galaxy, and included a cameo with FFF. bc and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for giving something to watch tonight! That was my father and I's favourite Z film after I found it in some small shop in the eighties.Even made it to my custom,when I was talking to the DrX after saying he should watch it The TTA,to me,looks like it was a nicer copy and was victim to a flood.The rest of the book is glossy and supple-besides where it sat in some sort of wet for however long.Price was right.

"That's either a 50 foot tall monster or my ex wife Ninnie" Very glad you liked it! You know,before joining up here,I wasn't too net savvy,and locally,PHM or anything pre SA was pretty scarce.TTA and ST #1 were my long time grails,and it'd been about a decade since I'd really collected comics-girls,drink and other troubles came around fourteen,fifteen.I was determined to get those two books-they were mythical to me,I NEVER as a teen thought I'd get them.(I barely had ANY pre code Marvel monster books).I must say,I was delighted to get copies,but I'm STILL a little disappointed in the cover to Strange Tales #1,the TTA has grown on me.I'm also really grateful that I got them,and mostly finished the runs of the tales and JIM by 2010.So many of those books have went crazy price wise,especially the Journey,ST and Menace...
