Captain America’s speech right before they go into the quantum realm in Endgame is all types of awesomeness.

And then you have masks that dont really hide the identity that much at all (looking at you Green Lantern).

Certainly one of the few scenes I remember most clearly from any Marvel movie Rather than a wet Kirsten Dunst swallowing Toby Maguire's tongue? Sorry. I vagued out after hearing 'wet Kirsten Dunst'.

With all due respect to Mike Collins, the blurb is the only 1970s thing about it. I would have tweaked the tumbler a bit, and the costume and clothing.

That's an interesting contrast. I was trying to find an artist credit for the first one, the best I could find was a guess it might be either Al Eadeh or Bob Fujitani and had to look up examples of their work to see if I could make that connection.

Yes, those are the artists I saw it attributed to. I thought I copy and pasted that info, but obviously left it out.

I just happened to notice that D. Bruce Berry--pretty much known only as Jack Kirby's inker/letter following Mike Royer in the mid 1970's--preceded Kirby's return to Captain America by one issue, inking Frank Robbins' final issue, #191. This and an ink job over Herb Trimpe on a Killraven story the same month appear to be his only mainstream comics credits outside of his work for Kirby. I wonder if it was some kind of on-boarding exercise to prepare him for working in the Marvel corporate system. (He would proceed to work on some of Kirby's Captain America stories, although Frank Giacoia would become the book's most consistent Kirby inker.) I just found this. Berry was Royer's assistant before taking on the full job when Royer moved to something else for a while. Berry lived in California and Marvel wanted inkers local to NY. He had a long career outside of comics before and after his Kirby period. www.tcj.com/the-strange-case-of-d-bruce-berry/

Are you near Livonia Michigan? Got time to take a trip there on Sunday and have a few bucks to spare? Then you might be able to acquire this beauty... My friend Jesse who runs Gem City and Champion City Comic Cons also runs shows in Michigan and Indiana under the Knight's Hall Comic and Toy Show, and one of the dealers setting up at this Sunday's show is going to have that copy of Action Comics #4 and many other Golden age books from a large collection he just acquired for sale at the show for the first time. You don't get to see Action #4 in the wild very often... -M

Over in this week's cover contest, Icctrombone posted this entry: I usually find it true that in this age of collected editions, comic compilations intended to be and promoted as "comprehensive" rarely are. DC's Steve Ditko omnibuses leave out a couple of Ditko Legion stories, MTU and MTIO collections have to skip over issues with characters whose license Marvel no longer had at the time, Marvel's exhaustive Tomb of Dracula collections leave out one (admittedly easily overlooked) story from one B&W magazine, and this story misses inclusion in DC's Batman by Neal Adams set, although Adams provided half of the art for the story in this issue, taking over when an ailing Jim Aparo couldn't finish the job.
