Golden Age
Immortus lures Rick in Avengers #10 by offering him superpowers. At least he didn't offer to star him in a movie like FF9, SpM14 and TtA61!
I disagree that heroes need a defining foe or arch-nemesis. If villain A is robing a bank, does it really matter if he's stopped by Daredevil, Iron Man, or Mr. Fantastic?
These are the Pin-Ups that fans saw this month. (And YES! I had them taped up on my closet door!)
And the picture of the “innocent” Loki sniffing a flower oh-so-gently on page eleven is the ultimate HOOT! This scene is mirrored (of course) in [Audible Documentary wouldn’t want me to tell you where]!
Has anyone noticed that both the X-Men and the Avengers split up the same month. The Beast leaves the X-Men and Capt. America leaves (or appears to leave) the Avengers!
And yeah!, the Hulk Pin-Up was a nice effort.
It is again reinforced that Giant-Man can also communicate with termites (see TtA55). In the Marvel Universe there must be a great similarity between ants and termites.
This is one of many stories that makes me wonder about the buoyancy of the Atlantians. They walk upon the ocean floor but they also swim. But you or I would float unless we were weighted down!
It's a function of density, and may well account for Namor's (Marvel's first mutant) freakish strength, despite his relatively small stature
Odin’s behavior is sort of a one-note symphony in these stories. He needs a new tune!
There's one thing that you'll never understand - and that's a woman. - Elder

A note about continuity: ...I’m tempted to just say let’s write this off as characters from alternate timelines, but then someone would get all super-serious and extreme about that and what to know which Earth they’re from. *SIGH!* Let’s just enjoy the story, okay?
This story completely doesn’t match the reference to it in Spider-Man #19. Johnny’s flame would have recharged itself on the flight back from Utah, and the end of the story did not leave him flying weak and exhausted through the skyline of New York City. *SIGH!*
I know to some [ToS 60] is a generic battle, but for me it’s also classic/archetypal Captain America. Maybe ToS60-63 is just what I think of when I think of a Captain America story.
The Captain America of late 1964 is just way too dour and serious...

I appreciate your good-natured willingness to respond to my nonverbal provocation. Thanks for those additional analyses.
Keep the commentaries coming...
