cosmic-spider-man Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 (edited) I have a Question what was the first Pre-Hero Marvel when did it all start and what does it take to be a pre-hero marvel does it have to have a Big Monster like Fin Fang Foom in it or is science fiction and Horor also part of Pre-Hero marvel I know my eairler Strange Tales didn't have the Big Monster Storys just mostly Horor are they considered Pre-Hero marvels. When I hear Pre-Hero Marvel I think BIG MONSTERS what does everyone else think about this? Hear is a Strange Tales #49 anyway have a look Edited September 19, 2004 by cosmic-spider-man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forbush-Man Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 For me Pre-Hero Marvels mean Monster books with either Kirby and/or Ditko covers & art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkey Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Thanks Jayman and Pov,! I love these old pre-hero books. Pov, I have a raw copy of Annual 1 if you're interested. It's nice, probably a VG/F or so, PM me if you're interested. Say, who can forget Sserpo?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hook Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Wasn't Sserpo played by Al Pacino in the movie version? Or was he one of the Marx Brothers.......I forget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkey Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 And yet another..... So did kids really wear TIES to school in 1961?? You don't see THAT much these days....unless the kid is achin' for a major leage asswhuppin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayman Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 And yet another..... So did kids really wear TIES to school in 1961?? You don't see THAT much these days....unless the kid is achin' for a major leage asswhuppin'. I love these books, don't get me wrong but that's such a silly cover! "I tell you I'm convinced that hostile life does exist on other planets!" Uh, yeah, just look out of the window teach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 They're completely goofy, that's what's so endearing. I mean, the guy who's razzing the kid and calling him "Teacher's Pet" is wearing a BOW TIE. Yep, standard issue for most schoolyard bullies! The "East Side Bow Tie-ers" were the most feared gang in the 'hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
