Can I mention a book about Comics? hm

I've been reading Marvel Comics in the 1960's: An issue by issue field guide to a Pop Culture Phenomenon by Pierre Comtois.

Interesting information behind the scenes plus breakdown's of the stories which made Marvel great. A fun read. \(thumbs u \(thumbs u

I just got through reading an Alter Ego that I just picked up at the LCS...# 18 I think, with a Stan Goldberg interview...it covers his memories and reminiscences about Atlas /Marvel from 1949 to the late 70's....a whole lot of 60's stuff. I stuff like this. He was the colorist and a production artist and had a front row seat for the creation of the Marvel universe. GOD BLESS...

P.S. He said it was very possible that George Klein inked FF 1 and that it was also very possible that Chris Rule may have assisted...he was a good buddy with George and occasionally tag teamed a story.

Not sure if there is bigger bang for your buck than AE. I picked up a huge lot (the first 70 issues - although I had several already, just too good to pass up). Absolutely wonderful information \(thumbs u

While they may have made Millie a bit more mature and contemporary in late 1965, it wasn't deemed appropriate to receive the "PopArt Productions" monikor that Marvel gave to the majority of its' superhero and war line:

There doesn't seem to be a rationale to using the Pop Art colophon.

Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, Journey into Mystery, Sgt. Fury, Tales to Astonish and X-Men sported the new "image".
Strange Tales and Tales of Suspense, of the superhero line, did not.
None of the westerns (Kid Colt Outlaw, Rawhide Kid, Two-Gun Kid) did.
None of the teen titles (Millie the Model, Modeling with Millie, Patsy Walker, Patsy and Hedy) did.

I tend to think that the decision was somewhat ad hoc --- almost coming as quickly as it left.

This is a cover scan of my rather well-loved copy of Journey into Mystery #119, August 1965 (June 1965, newsstand).



Now take a look at a house ad from Strange Tales #136, September, 1965 (June 1965, newsstand). Interesting, is it not?




p.s. nice copy of FF 43.

I like full date stamps, too. They pinpoint the comic in history. One can imagine the store clerk kneeling beside the just freshly cut bundle of comics stamping one after another and them placing them on the old wooden newsstand.
