I've always wondered if Jim Starlin might've re-drawn them as a sort of warm-up for his next issue premiere. Look at the other Captain Marvel figures on other pages throughout that issue - they look like Wayne Boring figures, but not on that last page.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-30236850999705397842012-11-19T11:10:30.123-05:002012-11-19T11:10:30.123-05:00I always saw Doc Samson as an homage to Capt.Trium...I always saw Doc Samson as an homage to Capt.Triumph from the Golden Age/ Crack Comics...Rich Gignacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-9853496925110735742012-11-19T08:51:42.755-05:002012-11-19T08:51:42.755-05:00SPEAKING OF THE big Red cheese/ CAPT.Marvel aka Sh...SPEAKING OF THE big Red cheese/ CAPT.Marvel aka Shazam. I always thought Doc Samson from the Incredible Hulk #141. Samson's alter ego resembled Roy Thomas & Samson was a bit Capt.Marvel like. I even saw one of the original pgs published I believe in Alter-Ego years ago. On the top of the page someone had written Shazam!

And I have to say, I like his Marvel work much better than any of that 1950s Superman art that was reprinted in so many of those digests in 1970s. Does that make me a bad person?Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-67592194170601353442012-11-19T02:14:17.977-05:002012-11-19T02:14:17.977-05:00Isn't it strange (but good) to see Wayne Borin...Isn't it strange (but good) to see Wayne Boring's art in a Marvel comic?
