Thanks very much for the welcome and the advice, Farrar. Unfortunately, when I tried your solution, I wasn't getting the BBCode link option. It might be because I posted it in Imgur without joining their site (they wanted a phone number to join and I didn't feel like doing that). I found a work around to post the photo but it was displaying in a HUGE size, which I guess is appropriate since it was a giant-size issue. But it was too big. If anyone knows a way to reduce the size of the photo in a post or another means of linking a photo, let me know. Thanks.
I use Imgur as well.. the share links don't show up if your window is too small (but I do also have a log in so you might be right). As far as size goes, the standard windows photo viewer has a 'resize' button where you can reduce it by a % or choose a number of pixels (I find 400-600 a good range for posting here) There is also a size command in BBCode you can use but you'll have to google that for the exact correct use. Think I finally got it worked out. Thanks for the advice. I'm basically so technologically impaired, I'm lucky I can turn on my computer. |

One other note while it's still August, I just happened to see an article mentioning how this is the 50th anniversary of the first collaboration between Doug Moench and Paul Gulacy on Master of Kung Fu. I think their work on this book ultimately turned into one of the best writer-artist collaborations in comic history. And looking back on the 1970s MOKF issues now, I have to say Moench's work on this book stood out as the best pure writing seen in Marvel up to to this point.

According to Mike's Amazing World, MOKF #20 was published in June 1974.

According to Mike's Amazing World, MOKF #20 was published in June 1974. That is true but the writer credited for #20 is Gerry Conway. I believe Moench took over the next month but with a different artist and the first Moench-Gulacy collaboration was the month after that, which would be August '74.

Moench wrote the second half of MOKF #20. Interesting. Looks like there was also a Giant-Size MOKF by the pair which also preceded #22. Curse me for believing anything I read on the internet! |

I wonder what Moench and Gulacy themselves would count as their first real collaboration, the first one they really worked on together, discussed things, etc. I imagine that would be the one they'd date their anniversaries as creative partners from - any info on that?

if the usual sites are accurate, this was published 50 years ago today:  This is on my “track down” list, I am intrigued by the monster on the cover. |

Then: Squat! Later:             The first Atlas/Seaboard I ever saw was Phoenix #4, when it was new, at a friend's house. When I went to college, and discovered a comic book store, I found several Atlas comics, as well as Jeff Rovin's The Encyclopedia of Super Heroes. Rovin was the initial editor of the Atlas color comics, while Larry Lieber edited the black & white, until Rovin left and he handled everything. He covered all of the superhero Atlas books, in his Encyclopedia and made them sound better than most were. I snagged Scorpion because I had seen Dominic Fortune, by that point (and American Flagg) and knew Chaykin was a good bet. After college, I found a slew of Atals titles at a local shop and others at a couple of conventions and collected most of the line, except the black & white magazines and Vicki. Destructor was one of the ones I found in college, along with Scorpion and Phoenix; and, possibly, Grim Ghost. My memory is hazy on it. The sword & sorcery stuff I bought later, in the military, |
