We did a huge mural like that only I had the kids use a projector and transparancies to get the characters right. I had a bunch of stills from the Animated Spider-Man series that they included with some comics in the 90s when the series first came out. I had a great Spidey Doc Oc to trace and color. Looked awesome at the end.
This 4-issue FF / Doom / Silver Surfer story is one of the absolute high points of the Lee & Kirby years. I can't say the same for the lame way it was adapted in FF: Rise Of The Surfer :-(
There's a great moment in this comic where the Surfer asks Doom what his qualifications for being a ruler are. Doom replies "I? I am but a humble servant of my people!" Yeah, right!
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

how great is jack kirby's art?
It was so great that at as a tribute during high school I painstaking copied this particular picture onto a four foot tall canvas.
