... series. Now, I love the Invaders stuff, but these two issues were truly the first signs that Roy Thomas’ obsession with Golden Age heroes was possibly an illness. Nobody needed these heroes to return and the Heroes vs. Heroes angle was so clichéd by the mid-70s. You’ve got a couple of decent Kirby covers, but Don Heck’s pencils and flattened terribly by Vinnie Colletta’s razor-thin inks....
Promo poster from 1984 - thought that the "color photo composite" note in the upper corner of the picture on the newspaper was a nice touch, a clever variation on the standard "here's a generic shot of the team" thing. This wasn't a bad little series, actually. It's footnote-friendly Roy Thomas at his most footnote-iest, romping through the Justice Society's history...a good crash course on...
... Towards the end of Doctor Strange’s first series (which took over the numbering of Strange Tales), Roy Thomas and Gene Colan did a storyline where Doctor Strange took on a new masked identity. This presumably was to make Strange look more like a superhero, as the sales on the title weren’t exactly awe-inspiring. The book was canceled not too long afterward. Loeb is likely just bringing back...

Wow, is my face red. As was pointed out, Roy Thomas was writing the Avengers by this time in the series, not Stan Lee. Sorry about that. I suppose I could have always just checked my facts before I started ramblin', but where's the fun in that? But you can be sure that today's panels came from Avengers v1 #43. Beyond that, I guarantee nothin': Okay, let's get this straight: Quicksilver can fly...
... Slash. Since then, he has been through eight or more producers (including Moby, Youth and Queen's Roy Thomas Baker), and hired-and-fired countless replacement musicians. Two years ago, studio costs were pegged at a staggering $13 million. Yet, finally, 'Chinese Democracy' is just hours away from release, and the music industry, beleaguered by illegal downloading as well as pre-recessionary...

There is still a possibility of Robbie coming out to play for us,' said Thomas. Derby are also lining up a move for Irish winger James O'Shea despite interest from Birmingham City. The Galway United...

In addition to the...
... answered that yeah, it was Lee doing the credit boxes, although he added: Other writers like Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich wrote ‘em on issues they scripted, though Stan (as editor) occasionally fiddled with them to get them into the proper style. So there ya go! Thanks a lot, Mark! _________________________________________ A few different folks wrote in to ask about the name change to Comic...
