Strange Tales #125: Property Damage 39
Written by Word-Slingin' Stan Lee
Drawn by Picture-Sketchin' Dick Ayers
Inked by Ink-Splatterin' Paul Reinman
Lettered by Pen-Pushin' S. Rosen
Oh, hey, it's an issue of Strange Tales. It's been... some time... (one post in the best part of two years).
Oh, hey, it's Dick Ayers and Paul Reinman on artwork. And boy, does it show that they're not Jack Kirby and Chic Stone. The Thing looks crude, Johnny looks incredibly stiff. Ayers, at this stage a workhorse for Marvel, would go on to far better things on the Sgt Fury title, whilst Reinman was nearing the end of his tenure with Marvel.
Oh, hey, it's an issue starting with The Thing and the Human Torch smashing stuff up for no real reason to provide a vaguely-interesting image to start the story with.
Oh, hey, it's an asbestos rug. At least something interesting here.
