PART TWO OF TERRIFIC COVER GALLERY...


Images copyright MARVEL COMICS

Here's the second instalment of TERRIFIC covers (plus their back-page pin-ups) from the 1960s for you to cast your perceptive peepers over, you lucky POWER PACK perusers of perfection.  Anybody old enough to remember these iconic issues produced by 'the Garret' is getting on a bit by now, so just take your tablets from the nice nurse and lose yourself in yesteryear.  Your telegram from the Queen will be along before you know it.  Remember to come back for part three in a few posts from now.  You surely wouldn't want to miss the treats in store from 'The Floor of 64', would you?

    It would have been nice if Terrific was printed as nicely as Fantastic! But Terrific was great, Subby, Doc Strange, The Avengers, what's not to like. One day in August 1967 I went into the newsagents and there on the counter were no fewer than TWO issues of Terrific- the two-part Dr Strange/Dormammu story arc! That was a high point of the swinging Sixties for me!

    You're right, NP. Even back then, I wondered why Terrific was printed on cheaper paper than Fantastic. And with top and bottom cover margins. Maybe they just wanted it to have its own identity - even within the umbrella of the Power Pack. I swear, I just look at a Power Comic and I'm back in the '60s.
