KLASSIC (KIRBY) KOMIC KOVERS: FANTASTIC FOUR #51...

Well, we've just seen the splash page of FF #51, so I thought I may as well show you the cover. I think the top of The THING's legs are a little too wide for the top half of his body, but I don't really care, as I'm much too busy ogling The INVISIBLE GIRL. (Who, thankfully, is quite visible in this picture. SUSIE, I love you!)
SPECTACULAR SPLASH PAGES #21...

Okay, so The THING is just standing there doing nothing, but it's still a pretty dramatic image, huh? When JACK KIRBY returned to MARVEL in the mid-'70s, he drew The Thing as the 'cuddly teddy bear' that some other artists had turned him into in JK's absence, and which JOHN BYRNE reversed when he became the FF's regular writer & artist in the early '80s. However, in the '60s, The Thing still looked like a... thing, and this splash page captures that perfectly.
