It's about time she is being recognized at home. She's truly bridges the gap between today's club land and that of an era that is long gone. Honey has been a renowned DJ the world over for some time.

Marvel has done a great job of developing him into a complex character. His constant demand for respect is typically hilarious. I think it might have been Matt Fraction who pointed out that "Imperious Rex" is more or less Atlantean for "F**k you!!"

Drilling down even further, the ones that Dave Cockrum illustrated are my favorites, although the Curt Swan issues sure have an innocent charm to them. But they sure haven't aged as well in quality or value as those old issues of FF! We could probably all pay off our mortgages with bagged copies of the first 10 issues of FF!

I had this issue in my hands. No doubt much to Lee and Kirby's chagrin, I remembered Marvel's former identity as a purveyor of giant monster comics, which I'd tired of by then, so I put it back and probably bought an issue of Adventure Comics. I really liked Superboy at the time...If Doc Doom's time machine really existed, I might step through and say, wait kid, buy the Fantastic Four! Wait, talk Maw Maw into buying EVERY COPY! And bag them up when you get home, OK? Oh well...great issue. I believe they sort of recycled the comic plot in the first episode of the first Fantastic Four cartoon series.

The idea for this issue might have started out, hey, wouldn't it be cool to have the FF broke and having to hitchihike? And the fish powers (I forgot about those!) made Namor too similar to the much inferior Aquaman. Casting him in the direction of a superstrong hero was a good move, actually. Heehee.

No, I'm working from a CD ROM I picked up a few years back that contains every issue of FF and Silver Surfer in PDF form. The FF issues run up to the Civil War event, and I have every issue from that point on. I've read all of the Lee/Kirby issues via the Essential collection, and have the entire Byrne run, but can't wait to delve into the between points. I wish!

I could say they'll be an Important Indie Mexican Band, Here in Mexico it's hard to find good music, and this is a cool pretty Proyect. Go Rey Pila!
