bc Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Other 3-fers Sems like it was a pretty specific period during the peak of the big monster covers - soon after, most covers only used the name once or twice on the covers. -bc Jasonmorris1000000, Albert Tatlock and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 On 8/5/2024 at 9:37 PM, bc said: Awesome set sir! Think the reason that they dropped the "!" in the title block was due to them needing to use that at least 3 times in the cover word balloons after their shift to the "big monster" era from the sci-fi stories in issues 1-8 of both TTA and TOS. That TTA 10 has 12 exclamation marks in the cover word balloons alone !!!!!!!!!!!! -bc It is just following the lead of the title of this thread, ''Pre- Hero Marvels!!!!'' But punyhuman missed a trick, should have been punyhuman!!!!!!! (at least). Off to t'Rovers for a nightcap!!!!! bc and KirbyJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are well past the peak big monster period just as Stan was getting more involved in the big 4 titles. -bc KirbyJack and Frisco Larson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) SW5 is an interesting book to me. In the last story, the term " ho mo superior" is used to describe the advanced people on a distant planet. That was in 1959, long before that term was used to describe the mutants of the Marvel Universe. Sort of builds on Yellow Claw 2 - where the term mutant is used for "gifted" individuals with special powers. Just neat to see the early pieces and parts that will come together in a few years. -bc Edited August 14 by bc they censored the word ho mo for some reason Frisco Larson, jimjum12 and Jasonmorris1000000 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
