KirbyJack Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 The guide used to list an issue of Strange Tales as a prototype for The Thing until it was pointed out that FF #1 pre-dated it. I never bought too heavily into the whole prototype scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korvac Saga Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The guide used to list an issue of Strange Tales as a prototype for The Thing until it was pointed out that FF #1 pre-dated it. I never bought too heavily into the whole prototype scenario. Maybe the Thing was a prototype for the 2 headed dude? Granted, the whole prototype concept is confused + abused. What it shows is that Kirby had certain design elements that he liked + repeated often (the many Thing-like monsters, Doom's face plate, etc) + Lee reused the same names up + down all over the place(Hulk, Magneto, Electro, Thorr/TTA #16, Uncle Ben, Aunt May, Sandman, Doctor Strange, etc, etc). Thankfully the Silver Age continues past the preheros or there would be no Marvel Comics as we know it + likely no comics at all. And WTF would I be spending $$ on then? A new car, a vacation, new computer, etc, etc.. BAH!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstrange Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The guide used to list an issue of Strange Tales as a prototype for The Thing until it was pointed out that FF #1 pre-dated it. So it was a posto-type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 That's the one, AtlasFan! And it is cool, isn't it? Maybe retro-type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Strange Tales 94 was also listed as a Thing prototype for a while, but was ammended for the same reason. The story has something to do with space pirates....and they were definitely composed of "Thing lumps".....as were quite a few of the pre hero monsters. Goom and Googam also fit the bill to a degree.GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
