I always appreciate your comments Marcus. Thanks!

There's some really great Kirby/Stone art in this Annual. I remember this page when I was a kid. To me one of top Thing vs Doom brief tussles. And Panel 5 always stuck with me. I always loved the love/hate dialogue between Ben and Victor. Comical and suspenseful at the same time. Congrats!

Great Monster page.Ditko really made the astronaut pop out. You can feel the fear in his facial expression. Compliments of Kirby/Ditko magic! 

I love the Kirby/ Ayers Western pages. Kirby's keen eye for camera angles shows up well on here. A truly great artist. Congrats!

Awesome title Splash page Bret. Christopher Rule was a great inker,   but there was some eerie electricity going on in some of his inking.     Not this page though. Congrats!

Nice one Bret. I like that last panel close up.

Thanks Bret. The top panel does look really good.

Thanks Lloyd!

Nice Marcus!. That's the first thing I noticed being a huge Demon fan.

The last were made in 1962. Jack also left out the license plate number since it was an antique car at the show that the thieves stole the car from. Nice!

Oh come on! ha!ha! Don't make me pull out FF #5 pages!            Just kidding! I wonder if its signed to Mike T? Congrats!

The best page in the story. Didn't Dave Schwartz have this page and another great page that you bought from him? I saw them both. Either you showed them to me or he did. One of my favorite Thor villians. You can feel the energy off this page. Jack Kirby and Chic Stone the best.  

 He looks a little pissed off.

I had a page from this story Andy. Never let this awesome page go.    Also, I always loved the psychotic look of evil on the Space Phantom's     face when he appeared. Congrats!

Bret's opened Pandora's  Box. Get ready. ha.ha.

I think all the people who viewed this are speechless. Only one comment. Well let me tell you Bret I've seen this up close and it's awesome.The ominous energy and feeling coming off Kirby and Ditko Monster Art brings me back to my childhood. It didn't scare me it was like Godzilla and all the monsters in the movies that I thought were cool. You want more and they delivered so many.We all have our favorites.  Fin Fang Foom was mine. Keep em coming man. Congrats!

Before Marvel I was reading Star Spangled War Stories, Gorgo and Metal Men That super duo, Andru and Esposito. Then I saw Magnus Robot Fighter. Wow. Russ Manning one of the Greats. Okay who has all the Leeja pages ha.ha.

Alex is a great artist and wonderfully humble person too.

Leaving Machine Man's ghost of his father out of the panel's and focusing on Aaron was classic Kirby genuis. Literally directing his break down toward the camera. Us. And then a glimpse of his father in the background and then the realzation that his human father really cared and displaying a human emotion of a son. I sing the body electric. .Great page Bret. I'm glad you kept this one.

It was amazing. Meeting and going to the Kirbys house was actually more fun sometimes than buying the artwork. Congrats Bret! they sure were good times. And also thanks to Mike too!

The absorbing Man, The Grey Gargoyle, Cobra and Hyde and Ulik. Those were some of my favorites. I truly enjoyed those when I was a kid. And when Odin was pissed off at Thor his timing was impeccable to strip Thor of his power at the wrong time when Thor needed his Godly powers the most. And of course the back stories Unforgettable Thor giving his life for Sif and Hela sparing him. Classic line to the absorbing Man "Silence thou voice is offensive to mine ears" When Crusher Creel said I should be beating you. Congrats!

Yeah, another one goes to a good home. I think you have half of my collection. Just kidding. No the whole USA does. Ha.Ha.

Thanks!

Thanks Marcus!

Thanks. That's one of the reasons I got this page. The beautiful art

and the explanation of the story.

Nice!

Thanks man. I agree. Have you looked at his horror comics from the 1950's?

Yes Toni they are. Your Bolland Judge Dredd. Man nice!

Survey says you are correct!

Yes he is and interesting to talk to over the phone too!

Yes Marcus, and the dialog especially between Reed and the Thing is Priceless!

Yes, and it cost a pretty penny. But it was worth it!

Thanks!
