Here are the other “Marvel Universe” books published in December, 1962:
 “Prisoner of the Reds!”
In a nutshell: When American scientists mysteriously defect, Dr. Blake acts as bait to find out what’s going on. Hypnotized by the Commies, he is brought behind the Iron Curtain, where he finds the other scientists. As Thor, he fights the Commines and returns the scientists to the free world. What’s Hot: Dr. Blake actually looks attractive in a number of panels. He secretly pines for Jane Foster while she openly swoons for Thor. What’s Not: It’s the Commies once again. Ho hum… |
Strange Tales 103 – Beware the 5th Dimension. Through a swamp in New York no less!
On the cover that is how an evil lackey is supposed to laugh. I also like the title in pink with the blue background.
This is the 1st Scooby-Dooish issue with an crazy old coot trying to keep them away.
I wonder if “Monty Python and The Holy Grail” scene about building castles in the swamp came from this story? 🙂
Just what was the case that the other FF members were working on? I smell a story here!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show – Who knew that you had to do the Time Warp to enter the 5th dimension?
Must be the Scales of Justice that everyone is standing on. Page 7, panel 1.
I wonder if Valeria is related to The Jolly Green Giant.
You know that Zemu means business when he brings out the “W” shaped magnet!
“I warned yuh! I told yuh to leave! The Swamp Demons won’t never let yuh build here!”-Crazy Old Coot
Journey Into Mystery 87 – just another Commie issue with not even a Commie second string supervillain.
Those electronically treated chains look like an advanced Rubik’s Cube!
Did the Red Spy just park his mig in the street?
Why waste time making shockwaves when you can just hammer through the wall.
Dr. Evil – Those man-eating sharks need to be able to shoot frickin’ laser beams from their heads!
“Just remember that even in a slave nation, the spirit of freedom never dies!”-Resistance Fighter
Tales To Astonish 38 – Egghead had potential, but he just needed a better name. Mr. Clean, Earserhead, Dr. Curly, Cue Ball, etc…
I’m getting a Edgar G. Robinson vibe from the main gangster.
Is “All About Ants” a kids book?
So, I wonder if any insects do know sign language???
Egghead tries to appeal to the ants greed and vanity. Only later to find out that the ants aren’t slaves, but partners in the war against crime. Repeat the first two sentences if necessary…
Eggy does drives a very snazzy car. Speaking of which, the gangsters car ain’t bad either.
Do they even make large sheets of flypaper like the one shown?
“Egghead–you’re a genius!”-Gangster Leader
“Egghead had potential, but he just needed a better name. ”
Yes, but this could be said about SO MANY Marvel villains. Egghead is NOT the worst possible name ever.
