... first person to tell me, correctly, why this variant cover image is so funny gets an electronic No Prize. (The filename I've given to the jpg image is a good clue for historians of popular culture).
It's a very loving homage to the old FF # 1 cover, isn't it? Let's see if I can post a link: http://marvel.wikia.com/Fantastic_Four_Vol_1_1
And I guess it's now just on 50 years since FF #1 was published (with a return date of November 1961 on its cover), which started the Marvel Silver Age and everything that entailed.
Ah, I thought it was familiar. It's an homage to Fantastic Four #1, yes?
ReplyDeleteDam Jim beat me to it. Yes that's right. I tried to post a link but the comment was blocked.

ReplyDeleteThat's great. I'd never seen the Fantastic Four #1 cover before, but I've read enough Superdickery to pick it out as a call back to the Silver Age
ReplyDeleteYup. Here's you No Prize, Jim:
ReplyDeleteAnd also well done, JasonB.
