The immediate aftermath of Reed and Sue announcing that they’re going to have a baby. One of my favourite scenes in the whole FF run.
from Fantastic Four Annual #5 [1967]
I still always wonder what it would be like to be able to read the Fourth World books without any prior knowledge of the character. By the time I read the originals I already knew what the truth of those rumours about Orion were, and read the hints with that knowledge. Did readers of the time realize what the deal was prior to “The Pact”?
Anyway, always love those scenes where Orion’s more savage nature force their way out.
from The New Gods #5 [1971]
And a belated tip of the hat to Space Odyssey creator Arthur C. Clarke, recently passed on but forever remembered.

The odd insertion of Deadman in the Fourth World was distracting, but I did like how Kirby drew the character.
from The Forever People #9 [1972]
If you’re in Vegas when the Great Disaster strikes, this could be your cameo in a Kirby comic!

Ah yes, the old spring loaded mini boxing glove in a box. A Yancy Street Gang classic.

The Challengers did meet up with some strange ones, didn’t they? Love that expression on the one on the right.

One of the oddest things about Sky Masters is that the scientist in the middle there is named Royer.

Hmm… saturated “brain drain” chemical…
