SPECTACULAR SPLASH PAGES #4...

What fascinates me about this splash page is the caption box.

Just why the lettering is spaced within it the way it is puzzles me,

as it's an odd layout to be sure.  There's nothing odd about JACK

KIRBY's & DICK AYERS art 'though, and the perspective seems

spot on.  You really get the sense that the FF are actually floating

downward in defiance of gravity, and the alien architecture makes

you wonder if Kirby had really been to Planet X.  I mean, how

else could he have drawn the darn place so convincingly?
