I wanted a classic Captain America/Bucky situation to include in this, given that the following are a mere sample of the covers that they include in their history (Warning - racist imagery and pre Comics Code violence on the covers)

( What time is it? It's... 'Midnight in Greymoor Castle' )

For Dude in Distress week, I thought I'd post a few pages of when the Red Skull has Captain America at his mercy... and decides to bore him with his origin story.

I know this because The King and The Man tell me so.

Plus, Volstagg must have taught some of his mad hiding skillz to Solid Snake.

Enjoy!

Ifanboy have a story about Marvel's Season One Initiative
Taking a page (give or take a few hundred) from DC's Earth One line (whose Superman: Earth One was a breakout success), Marvel has announced a line of original graphic novels featuring some of their most popular characters and Daredevil. They're calling it Season One.

Though Marvel claims to have sought out younger talent with fresh takes on the characters, you'll recognize a few promising names.

It all starts in February with Fantastic Four: Season One by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and David Marquez.
And I've stopped paying attention. Fantastic Four, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa? Sold. You'll remember that he's the man who wrote Marvel Knights 4. And it was good. USA Today has art previews, but there's no way to actually post them up here. The raison d'etre of Season One does sound a lot like the Astonishing Line, but in OGN format. I'm assuming that that means that you can buy them in bookshops and Amazon, instead of your local comic shop.

( More origins, in a way )

In the 1970s, NASA launched the Pioneer 10 space probe, carrying a message for any alien life it might encounter. As we saw in KIRBY: GENESIS 0 (which the publisher has now made freely available online, by the way), Pioneer encountered Something and that Something sent a response in Earth's direction. In issue 1, that response arrives, in the present day.

( Four pages... )

...There was "Action Comics Weekly", DC's first attempt at a weekly comic book. It was an anthology comic somewhat on the model of 2000 AD, several continuing stories each week, with seven page chapters (and a two-page Sunday comics spread for Superman.) There were several interesting projects done during this run--I especially liked the new Secret Six they had. Sadly, sales and logistics reasons meant that the experiment lasted less than a year.

Love that Kirby art, though I think this might have been an inventory piece DC had lying around. 2 1/3 pages from each of the seven-page storiesin Action Comics Weekly #638 (2/7/89), one double-page spread, and a special treat!

Some time ago, Dynamite Entertainment licensed from Jack Kirby's family the right to all his creator-owned works, and by all of them, I mean all of them. They can use everything Kirby ever came up with that's not owned by someone else, from entire published series to some sketch he did on the back of a letter or whatever. And if you know about Kirby, then you know that's a *lot* of characters and concepts.

Which brings us to KIRBY: GENESIS, a mini-series starring a number of said concepts and characters, the #0 teaser issue of which came out today. Writing by Kurt Busiek, art by Alex Ross and Jack Herbert.

Nobody requested this post.

It doesn't fit into any set theme for theme month.

It isn't even anything hot off the presses.

But it's something that I think is pretty cool - the origin of Mr. Fantastic. Not the character, the name.

This collects the oft-reprinted and emulated Fantastic Four #1, the crib scene in Waid/Wieringo's first issue of Fantastic Four (v3 #60) and extracts from this ~~summer's~~ autumn's Ataque del M.O.D.O.K.
( In the beginning... )
And Mark Waid has him( telling the story to Valeria )

And the much promised secret origin from this year's visually arresting ( Ataque Del M.O.D.O.K.! )

So I was thumbing through my New Gods collection and felt that more of its epicness could be spread around.

This story was advertised as the origin of Orion and Mr. Miracle. What they don't tell you is that it's essentially Highfather's origin too, from when he was known as "Izaya the Inheritor" (what does he inherit? That's a plot point.)

About 8.5 pages out of 26.

from Mister Miracle v.1 #8

Back story here, Scott escapes from Apokolips with some help from Barda and the Furies. While she had the chance to go with him, Barda chose to stay behind only to show up in his kitchen and threatening Oberon sometime later.

So, at that point she'd left the Furies. Hell, she'd even fought some who'd come after her and Scott. So, what kind of welcome does she get when her and Scott head back to Apokolips to handle some unfinished business?

Hello one and all! This is my first post to scans_daily, so I hope I don't mess this up too much. =\

For One Perfect Moment week, I remembered one such moment of Thor in particular, where the man has no more than thirty seconds to save the day - and does so, with style.

For your consideration, Journey into Mystery (with The Mighty Thor), no. 113, "told with gusto by" Stan Lee and "drawn with grandeur" by Jack Kirby.

( No, really, that's what they're credited as. )

It's 5 and 1/6 pages out of an 16-page issue, incidentally.

GALAXY GREEN was one of the (many) story concepts Jack "The King" Kirby came up with in life that never actually got published. You can't often say this about a man with as diverse a body of work as Kirby's, but this was really quite unlike anything else he ever worked on.

( Two pages )

When last we left off, the FF had realized that Ben Grimm's girlfriend, Alicia Masters, had been kidnapped by a man use a phase teleporter controlled by a wrist band. (Sounds like some ultra exclusive clubs in know in Hollywood.) Meanwhile, the main focus of the story focuses on Alicia Masters, as the blind girl has been brought in to see the Citadel of Science!'s creation run amok. It's The Fantastic Four, #67 Volume #1, from 1967.

And pancakes.

*mods - 8 pages of 32 comic pages.
Warning. Big images. Not dial up safe.

No, not a porno. Even though there is plenty of innuendo that could be used (MightyGodViking, if your reading...). It's The Fantastic Four, #66 Volume #1, from 1967.

These are the masters of comics, when comics were great and the Marvel Universe began to expand. And premiere among it's explorers are the Fantastic Four. Let us reach back into the past a look upon a classic tale of science fiction, adventure, human drama, and the folly of man.

*mods - 7 pages of 28 actual comic pages.
