The late, great Marvel Comics Legend, Joe Sinnott
Rather than being auctioned, this original cover art to FF #84 is for sale by Mike “Romitaman” Burkey. If you have to ask for how much, you can’t afford it. Another superb example of Joe Sinnott’s finished inks over Jack Kirby’s pencil art.

The scripted and rehearsed recording was made in 1965, during Wally Wood’s brief stint working for Stan. Steve Ditko was still at Marvel, but he isn’t heard.

I know that one of my audio transfers was used for the video shared on Boing Boing, because of the “thump” heard while artist Don Heck is talking. The audio was captured lovingly and with careful attention to detail, using high-quality audio equipment, as I explained here fifteen years ago.

The New Yorker’s channel on YouTube doesn’t have an accompanying video, but this one can serve the purpose. These Foley specialists work for Disney competitor Warner Brothers.
Let’s not neglect the visual sound effects seen in comic books!

From TwoMorrows Publishing, Comic Book Creator issues #27 and #28 feature a must-have 2-part tribute to Joe Sinnott. I’ve borrowed a couple of photos from the digital editions.
