Sal Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Not really sure what Hank is thinking he's going to do once he lets go of that swing...I mean, optic blasts are bouncing off of Maggy's shield and while i suspect he can probably punch harder than a thrown snowball, I'm not convinced he's going to do more than Cyclops is already failing at doing. Angel is probably the weakest "top-level" hero in the Silver Age. I think if one were to order all the SA Marvel heroes from top to bottom in terms of overall power, he's going to be in between Patsy Walker and Rick Jones. Honestly, he should be drawn standing off to the sides and holding some pom-poms or a megaphone, because that's basically all he's bringing to the table Martin Sinescu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocomonkey Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I remember always being confused by this cover, even when I first saw it as a kid...mainly 1) Iceman seemingly throwing snowballs past Magneto, yet hitting his barrier; 2) the fact that Angel has a bazooka (I can't recall, did he even have one in the book itself?); 3) Jean's random "drunken stagger"pose; and 4) where Beast was swinging from with that swing. It confused me almost as much as Mr. Fantastic deciding that it was a better use of his powers to stretch and untie himself from ropes on the cover of FF 1 rather than just, you know, stretch out of them entirely.

A very short-running series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cortown71 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The Mexican version,made by La prensa.I'm pretty sure was released in 1964. That $1.oo is pesos.I collect some of these La prensas mostly fantastic fours.some are really tough to find.hombre X #1 would be a grail.because you can never have too many ?

N e r V Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hey it’s not one of Kirby’s best covers but I don’t think it’s terrible either. Look at it this way at least the X-Men are actually on the cover with Magneto in their first appearance (sorry Prof X). Poor old Dr. Strange is not even on the cover in his first appearance in Strange Tales #110 (hell, he isn’t even mentioned on the cover). On top of that at least Wonder Woman got a pretty good cover with All Star #8 but Doc gets stuck with a pretty lame Paste Pot Pete/Wizard standing combo while the Torch flies around his mirror prison. Candidate right there for one of the worst covers for a first appearance of a pretty major SA character. Compared to Doc’s intro X-Men #1 looks like gold...

And I also love this cover, because it makes me laugh. And I mean no disrespect for Kirby, he's the king and I've owned this book in the past (paid a whole $40 for a mid grade copy). I just believe in calling a spade a spade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
