I think that Jelly Men splash is from Marvel Mystery 31.  Yes, it predates "The Blob".  How far back does this story go?  I don't know but I have had dinner at the "Home of the Blob", which is the diner used in the movie.  Also been to the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville.

Must have missed your response but it seems the Blob was based on an actual event.  In 1950 two Philadelphia police officers saw a 6 foot mass land from the sky in a field. It was a glowing jelly like substance that dissolved completely after about 25 minutes! :whatthe:
