Marvel Monday: Terrorists, Communists, and Carnies

In September of 1962 Fantastic Four became monthly. Added to the monthly titles of Journey into Mystery and Tales to Astonish (both now linked to Superheroes), and the bimonthly Incredible Hulk, Marvel Comics was starting to look like a true superhero lineup. And that started with the return of a familiar face in a new superhero context.

"Da, Comrade! I shall take out the ants one by one with my pistol, rather than... stepping on them... or something. For the Motherland!"
You know he's a superhero this time, because the bad guys are Communists.

1,000 Views!

Today The Jeffrey's Tube hit a milestone. A milestone of 1,000 views!

Now those of you who are internet savvy may be saying, "Views? But that means almost nothing. That could be 1,000 separate people, or one person who just keeps visiting the same pages."

Well yes. But I only just got analytics on this site working properly, so views is all I have. And I hit 1,000, and I'm very proud of that, and STOP KILLING ALL MY DREAMS!

Thanks to all my readers (especially my Russian readers who apparently got linked here from a Battletech forum. I hope you're enjoying all the Cold War comics and Doctor Who serials!)

Keep sharing the links, and keep the dream alive.
