Lee and Ayers Cameo in Sgt. Fury #23

[rodan57]

Just reading Sgt. Fury #23 and there is a nice two panel cameo of Stan Lee and Ayers on p. 3.

 

Ayers: "Hey, Sarge, looks like the Howlers are gettin' ready to head out again!"

Lee: "So, what're you, the town crier? Keep that brush movin', corporal!"

 

Ayers (thought balloon): "Boy! After this man's war, I'll never hafta take guff like that from a crumb like Lee again!"

Lee: "When we get back to the States, I'm gonna write me some stories about the Howlers! How'dya like to draw 'em, Ayers?"

Ayers (thought balloon): "Oh, nooo!"

 

 

As Fury does not have Essentials reprints, it's one corner of the early Marvel Silver Age that provides pleasant surprises.

 

Interesting to note that in this cameo, Lee managed to make it overseas. I don't know if Ayers served overseas.

Ayers was actually at the D-Day landings, I believe.

Yeah, I wish I had a scanner. I just finished reading Strange Tales #125 and I swear the two reporters in cameo are meant to be Jack Kirby and Stan Lee.

In Strange Tales #125, they're not actually identified as Stan and Jack (as in the other comics) -- but I believe they're clearly identifiable.

Kinda reminds me of Peter Jackson, he's cameo'd in every single film he's done. Though I'd be hard pressed to see how he slipped himself into Heavenly Creatures.
