From COMICS BUYERS GUIDE #1500 (16 Aug 02)
hey kids! COMICS!
Back to the future of comics, again...
written by Heidi MacDonald
(excerpt)
At a foodtown in a dusty strip mall on Route 28 in Whitehouse Station, N.J., there was a decrepit spinner rack. The comics were yellowed and creased, because no rack jobber came by.
For some reason, I purchased Amazing Spider-Man #161 written by Len Wein with art by Ross Andru, which featured The Punisher and Nighcrawler, and Fantastic Four #176 by Roy Thomas and George Pérez, which featured The Impossible Man attacking some really cool place called the Marvel Bullpen.
(Aside: That story was just reprinted in Fantastic Four vol. 3, #54… might have to go snag a copy.)
...
Unbeknownst to me, later I would work with Len Wein and go to lunch with him once a week on the Disney lot. I would interview George Pérez for a special spotlight. I'd see Chris Claremont almost every day, because he was walking to work through Madison Square Park in one direction, and I was walking in the other direction, and we'd stop and say hi once in a while.

FF #176 Reprint |
|
From Vu
Looking through the latest reprint of FANTASTIC FOUR #176, I thought these panels were pretty amusing.
Panel One: Jack Kirby
Panel Two: George Pérez and Roy Thomas
Panel Three: Stan Lee
The Marvel staff appearances in comes (drawn by Pérez) isn't that uncommon back in the 70s and 80s. In fact, George's first work (in ASTONISHING TALES #25) is about Marvel staff.
