I love coming back to this wonderful splash page, from such a key book (for me anyway). Wally Wood over Don Heck equates to vintage Siver Age quality!

A lovely page Mark. Chic Stone's in king on Jack was lovely and lush with Thor; his brush work was beautifully fluent and varied in weight.

Hans, a masterfull page of all medmbers of the FF in costume and battle action. Even at this later end of the King's run on the FF he is still seamlessly generating such outstanding and beautiful work, ably assisted by Joe Sinnott's clean and fluid inking.

An incredible page from an incredible issue, made all the more so by your personal associations with to that comic. Crusher Creel stories were always a treat, but this fight page is particularly good. Congrats!

Thanks Paul. Each day I try and soak up that time and issue some 56 years ago. Jack Kirby magic!

Jack Kirby shows you the heart of The Mighty Thor as he sacrifices himself to shield a young Mr. Bartik from the wrecking ball of the Absorbing Man!  His act of valor would not be forgotten as the very account of this noble feat is immortalized in the pages of Journey Into Mystery for all to see!  The original art would prove to be elusive, but now it is in the very hands of the young lad that was saved all those years ago by Mighty Marvel!   Indeed, A Mighty Marvel Triumph! 

Definitely Shakespearean Marcus!

I must flip the counter up from 13 number, I feel Giacoia is underappreciated on FF but tough to compete with the legendary Sinnott run so why not have one from both?

Absolutely Mark. I think both Giacoia and Sinnott at their best on Kirby are outstanding, though I think Joltin Joe was probably more consistent at this high peak of excellence.

Hey Terry; I appreciate your past 'Ditko pain' (been there, done that); but this splash is absolutely a rare treasure in the pantheon of those wonderful and iconic first 38 issues + AM#15: congratulations on this awesome replacement which provides subtle depth, beautifully drawn and inked, as only Ditko could.

A great(er) cover than the published version Hans. It is interesting that the apparent floor sheen lines are not drawn in perspective, just perpendicular to the horizon; not distracting, but interesting nonetheless. Presumably the inking purely followed Kirby's graphic intent.

Mike, this is now a poignant and wonderful piece of history. Given the reclusive nature of the great man, this is a fascinating addition to both Steve Ditko's mythology as well as his then current view. He says alot and a little at the same time. Thank you for sharing. RIP Steve Ditko, one of the 'Immortals'!
