#JackedKirby - What If... The Marvel Bullpen had been transformed into the Fantastic Four! What If... was a great anthology title from Marvel where creative teams would take stabs at alternate storylines for characters in crazy fashions. Marvel didn't want to change continuity for their popular characters, so this was a great avenue for creative people to tell alternative stories. Imagine if Ben Parker had lived, Wolverine had not been Weapon X or Daredevil had not been blind... slight variations to the original stories that could really throw the whole character path for a loop! In October of 1978 we see #Issue11 of the series, which is an even wackier than usual, sees real life employees of Marvel becoming the Fantastic Four instead of the usual characters. After a mysterious package to the Marvel office explodes and leaks radiation everywhere, Editor Stan Lee becomes Mister Fantastic, Sol Brodsky became The Human Torch, secretary Flo Steinberg becomes the Invisible Woman and Jack Kirby becomes the EVER loving blue eyed THING! The story, written and drawn by Jack Kirby, was the original idea of editor Roy Thomas... and was also the first time in 8 years that Jack had drawn the FF! The story features Namor, Skrulls and all other types of Kirby Marvel goodness... including lots and lots of tech! Check out this insane splash featuring the Bullpen team in their FF glory! Love the equipment and robotics, and stretchy Stan! #JackKirby #Kirby #KingKirby #WhatIf #FantasticFour #FF #MarvelBullpen #StanLee #FloSteinberg #SolBrodsky #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #ComicsOfIG #IGComics
