...in a "slave truck" of course.

Uh-oh.  Someone has to give Reed mouth-to-mouth!  Ben volunteers...of course.
Kirby can't bring himself to actually draw Ben and Reed touching lips.

Fantastic Four 87

FF #87 from June 1969. "The Power and the Pride" by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Come on Hauptmann, watch you mouth.  Don't try to tell Dr. Doom what to do.

Hauptmann better watch his mouth around Dr. Doom.

Fantastic Four 84

weird comic book moment #8

Going with my usual theme....  from Batman 368:
Batman and his new Robin, Jason Todd, pose for a photo...and they don't object to being called an "item."














Later in the same issue... in this panel taken out of context, Bruce and Jason have a little "Ace and Gary" moment.

weird comic book moment #7

Just a couple of odd drawings from recent comics:

Clark Kent from Superman 710.   Creepiest looking Clark Kent ever!







From Silver Surfer #4:  Reed Richards... sporting a tiny little Mr. Spock ear.
