Man.... Or.... Monster?
No, I'm not blogging about the Incredible Hulk, who was in turn both a man... and a monster! I'm blogging about Ben Grimm aka 'the Thing', from the Fantastic Four Comics who first hit the newstands back in 1961! In a previous blog post I mentioned that I thought he was 'The Greatest American Hero', although that title was already taken by a superhero on a TV Show! ( Click Here for that Post)! Anyway, right after 'The Galactus Trilogy' in issues #48-50 of the Fantastic Four by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby (which was the basis to the FF Movie 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer), was a stand-alone issue that separated that Trilogy from the two part introduction of the Black Panther! That issue #51 is one of my favorite issues of the first 100 issues of the FF because it dealt with the man who by outward appearances looks like a monster! The story was well written with characterization and smoothly drawn, almost like a motion picture! Back in the 'old days' I used to give that issue away to friends to show them what comics could be like instead of the kiddee zap! bam! zowee! that comics were thought to be like in the mid 1960's! This was true literature and had a moral to the story besides! Great Ending! If you have never read this story from 1966... then you have missed one of the 'classics' that will stand the test of time! The story can be found in several reprint formats Marvel currently has in print so you don't have to spend a lot to get a back copy of this issue! For those of you new to us, we have an ongoing pop culture - comics convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!
