The REAL Fantastic Four!

Word is the new Fantastic Four flick is crap...

...so let's look at one of the more successful media adaptations...

Adapted from Marvel's Fantastic Four #126 (1972), this Roy Thomas-written, John Buscema/Joe Sinnott-illustrated tale beautifully-expanded on the original Stan Lee/Jack Kirby story!

The voices are a fascinating group.

Johnny Storm/Human Torch (and Narrator) was Peter Fernandez (Speed Racer himself).

Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic sounds like Les Tremayne (Mentor on the SHAZAM! TV series) who started out on dramatic radio in the late 1940s!
Enjoy the REAL Fantastic Four!

Notes on audio goodies...

Two items I've recently acquired that have proven invaluable...
1) I have a huge collection of old radio shows and "kids" records on vinyl, including stuff not available on-line or on cd (like the Raiders of the Lost Ark: the Movie on Record, a 1981 release with dialogue, music and sfx from the film and NO narration!). With the ION USB TurnTable, I rip those old albums to cd with ease using Audacity (for my personal use, only, of course)! (Believe it or not, I don't have an IPod, and don't want one. I much prefer my cassette and cd walkmans!) Got it at Costco for under $100!
2) And in terms of listening to those walkmans (walkmen?), I found I had to wear a bulky pair of over-the-ears studio headphones to get decent bass for, among other things, soundtracks by Korngold, Williams, or Goldsmith (Robin Hood, ESB, and STtMP, respectively). Not the most comfortable things to wear in the dead of summer while commuting...
I looked around for smaller headsets, and ended up getting a pair of V-Moda Bass earbuds.
BEST bass I've ever heard in buds (I no longer have to use the bass-boost setting on the walkman), plus they effectively block outside sound (very important in the subway!).
