From the middle of Kirby’s run of covers for the FF during his mid-1970s stint at Marvel, this has a nice image of Ben with one of his last great sparring partners from the original run on the book. I also like that dragon the Torch is fighting a lot.
Inks by Frank Giacoia (with minor modifications by Marie Severin).
Published 1976
Nearly six years after Kirby originally left, and ever character on that cover is one he created and that Marvel was still milking (OK, maybe not the dragon!)…
I like this cover,too. Simple, and no word baloons. Mr. Fantastic has been altered/redrawn by Marie Severin.
