BABE Of The DAY - SALMA HAYEK...

Here's the simply stunning SALMA

HAYEK, waving to me and saying "Kid, I

love you - you're the handsomest, sexiest

man I've ever seen!"  She's one smart cookie

is Salma, and would never tell a lie.  (Not one

as big as that anyway, so it must be true.

There's no point arguing about it.)

KLASSIC KIRBY KOMIC KOVERS: FANTASTIC FOUR #12...

The first time The THING fought The HULK, but certainly not the last.  Note that Hulkie has only four fingers (including his thumb) and three toes on each hand and foot, something that JACK KIRBY wasn't always consistent with.  (Didn't he have four toes sometimes?)  The fact that the Green Goliath was grey in his first appearance was ignored for well-over 20 years before being retroactively adopted into his continuity, so I wonder if the same thing will eventually happen as regards the number of digits on each extremity?

Only time will tell I suppose.  (Or has it told already?)

SUPERMAN By WAYNE BORING...

This drawing (or its double) was originally used as the splash page of SECRET ORIGINS #1 (mid-'80s), but WAYNE BORING later redrew the 'S' as the Earth 1 emblem, as the published issue had the Earth 2 SUPERMAN symbol.  It may've been ROY THOMAS (or perhaps JOHN MORROW) who commissioned the change from Wayne, but you can be sure I'll let you know exactly who it was when one of you cavortin' Criv-ites tells me.

Nice art though, innit?
