The Monkees! Drawn by--Jack Kirby?! True! Who Says a Comic Has to Be Good? Not BRAND ECHH!

What?! The same comic artist who breathed life into Captain America, Hulk, Fantastic Four, X-Men and Thor, once drew the pop superstars, the Monkees? True! Dig this pandemonium-producing panel from Marvel's humor mag NOT BRAND ECHH # 3, from the swingin' summer of '67! Not only do the Monkees appear to be touring Thor's Asgardian home, but so do many other luminaries of the era! Bobby Kennedy! Muhammad Ali! Bob Dylan! How many more can YOU name, old timer? A rare glimpse at the "King's" humorous caricature abilities! Click each to enlarge, and remember: Irving Forbush lives!

OK, in addition to the Monkees, Dylan & Bobby K, I'm seeing Martin Luther King Jr., Mao Tse-Tung, Don Knotts, LBJ, Jackie Gleason, Charles deGaulle, Herman & Grandpa Munster, Frank Sinatra with Mia Farrow, Alfred E. Newman, Liz Taylor & Richard Burton. The only one I'm having trouble with is the guy with the mustache to the right of the Munsters. James Mason maybe?
