BHOC: MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #50

Now this was a comic book that I really liked. So much so that I sent a letter of comment in to the letters page asking that creator John Byrne be allowed to both write and pencil FANTASTIC FOUR. A real case of “be careful what you wish for”, as I stopped buying FF under Byrne’s eventual tenure. But this issue, steeped in classic lore that I was familiar with, was something that really connected…

If there’s anything I can’t stand, it’s taking off this super suit and pretending to be a business tycoon.

Yes, they really put the Thing in John Travolta's Saturday Night Fever suit.

Clobberin’ Time #1 by Steve Skroce. Variant covers by Greg Smallwood and Dan Jurgens. Out in March 2023.

“It's the most clobber-filled title in the Marvel line, brought to you by the talented Steve Skroce, as Ben Grimm teams up with heroes from across the Marvel Universe!

BHOC: MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #49

MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE #49 was another junky, lifeless issue of what had become a largely junky, lifeless series. There was improvement just around the corner, though, and while I didn’t know that at the time, my critical standards at the age of twelve were pretty meager.

Good fun.

"Marvel's newest super-hero sensation battles for his life against a fighting mad Ben Grimm!"

There's lots to enjoy here. The villain has two solid goals, and they both more than justify his actions thus far.

Re-reading this two-parter was a blast.

On Sale Date: October 31, 1978.
