Even Friday Night Fights cannot derail our piercing the misty veils of time back to Marvel 1968!! Join us, as we gaze at Hulk #105:
Who's that guy? Well, you're not going to believe this...but Red Chinese underground nuclear tests freed and irradiated a "missing link." He grew big and mean, and the Chinese were only barely able to subdue him temporarily. So what did they do with the "Beast-Man?" Why, surreptitiously dump him in New York City, where he can damage capitalist interests!!
Well, by one of those Marvel coincidence, the Hulk is wandering around the Big Apple. So what happens when they meet??
Ouch!! But, of course, you can't keep a good Hulk down:
And how do you finish him off? Why, dump a building on him, of course!!
See, that's what would happen if anybody was crazy enough to let Hulk wander around New York City...
You know who else could tear down NYC? Let's just say there's a reason they don't let Bahlactus wander the Bronx...
MARVEL 1968 WEEK EXTRA!!
As those of you who have been tripping into the past all week with me know, I've been presenting a letter from each classic issue. Well, this may be Friday Night Fights, but I see no reason to stop. Today, Richard Howell gets the answer to a question that's always bugged me...or does he?!?
Certain postal regulations?!? Really? Can anyone out there explain to me??
Saturday--the 1968 finale, as we visit with a guy known as...Captain America!!

I think it kept their bulk postal rates cheaper (or the same, maybe, but not higher) if they called it the same mag with a different title rather than a new mag. I'm not 100% sure about this, however.
ReplyDeleteThat is almost exactly my mode of thinking as well :D
