He does draw the Thing well, which isn't an easy task at all. I may have to pick it up. Currently, my FF collection stops at ish 100 and picks up again around ish 114..<br /><br />Great post.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-31401285256331010142014-12-19T09:20:57.972-05:002014-12-19T09:20:57.972-05:00I first read this story in Marvel UK's 'Th...I first read this story in Marvel UK's 'The Titans' #43 in August 1976 - The Titans was printed"sideways" in landscape form and only lasted for 58 issues but the FF dominated it from #27-52. Anyway, I was going to mention that Crystal was almost at the end of her time with the FF but I see it's covered in the 'Monster In The Streets' link - did a million readers really want Crystal gone, I really liked her and thought she was bundled out of the FF with undignified haste. One thing I never understood - if Crystal was affected by the pollution of the outside world (that took a long time to kick in !!) then how was her sister, Medusa, not affected when she was in the FF a few years later. Perhaps this was explained or perhaps she'd built up a resistance...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
