Ben’s (plates? scales?) are much larger than in most Kirby depictions. The coloring is also unusual.

 It’s an interesting change of pace, but I’m glad he doesn’t always look like this. 2c

I always liked the way the Thing is depicted on Strange Tales #116.  It's Kirby and Roussos, but it looks to me like Roussos might have been doing finished pencils, not just inks.  Anyone know for sure?

I agree. Ben just looks more craggy than in other renditions.

The goal has always been to get #101-115 (plus the two annuals) in 9.0, and #116-168 in 9.4.  Thanks to @Straw-Man I finally have my 9.4 run, but there are four books left on my 9.0 list.  I decided not to have any gaps any more, so I picked up this quartet of future undercopies while I wait (and wait) for 9.0s to surface.
