“…Oh, and that’s Jim. He’s something of a legend around Yancy Street. He once threw a whole head of lettuce at the Fantastic Four. Don’t get him started.”
Yeah, that reminded me of the old George Reeve Superman show, where a bad guy would empty a revolver at Superman and he wouldn’t flinch. But then when the gurn is thrown at him, Supes ducked. WTF?
Is that wad of chewing gum made of Spidey’s webbing? Because I’ve stepped on chewing gum before without that much incident, and I’m not a 500 pound rock monster.
I’ve slowly been making my way though every issue of the Fantastic Four and I can say this is actually one of the more normal panels. That comic was just insanity on every page. In an awesome way.
I asked for ROMAINE!
Reed’s lettuce pun is priceless!

Reed Richards has no problem being pelted with cosmic rays and Doom Lasers…but LETTUCE? That’s where he draws the line.
yeah, couldnt he just catch it? it’s lettuce it would prob. break apart

And geez, Sue, that hair.
I meant gun, not gum. Dammit!

Knowing New York, I don’t think that’s just chewing gum….
….
Ewwwwwww.
heh that’s pretty cool. Love that lettering. Thank goodness photoshop didn’t exist back then.
makes sense to me. fuck inner city communities.
what? is it like Conor couldn’t buy heroin off hookers back in the day because of this?
Obviously not
From what I can tell in that panel that head of lettuce was thrown by a 4 year old witha tremendous curveball
I noticed that trajectory as well! And I think Sue may be taller than Ben!
It’s the hairdo.
Jeez….I hope Reed tells them not to read the billboards as they are walking through the neighborhood. Aw jeez Edith!
not one of Kirby’s best days, lol
I dunno, if a fruit stand can be open all night, how bad a neighborhood could it be?
“Gee, Sue, maybe, just maybe, something like, I dunno, a FORCEFIELD might come in handy here.”
Sue’s comment translates ” Let’s get out of here before we run into some minorities!”
oh and she’s rockin a perfect Peggy Bundy
I just like that the headline says the “Fabulous Fantastic Four.” How many adjectives does that group need? Also – language, Mr. Grimm!
The House of Ideas was built on astounding aliterations and amazing adjectives true believer!
