Catching Up with Roy Thomas
(excerpt)
During that tenure at Marvel, Thomas wrote several other key titles, including Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, a second run on X-Men with Neal Adams, and Fantastic Four (with a young artist named George Pérez, who took over the series after assisting penciller Rich Buckler).
"I really liked George's work from the beginning," Thomas told CBG. "We had a lot of fun with it. We did issues in which we had people trying out for The Frightful Four. We did the second Impossible Man story."

FANTASTIC FOUR #176 (Nov 1976)
hey kids! COMICS!
Back to the future of comics, again...
written by Heidi MacDonald
(excerpt)
At a foodtown in a dusty strip mall on
Route 28 in Whitehouse Station, N.J., there was a decrepit spinner
rack. The comics were yellowed and creased, because no rack jobber came
by.
For some reason, I purchased Amazing Spider-Man #161 written by Len Wein with art by Ross Andru, which featured The Punisher and Nighcrawler, and Fantastic Four
#176 by Roy Thomas and George Pérez, which featured The Impossible Man
attacking some really cool place called the Marvel Bullpen.
(Aside: That story was just reprinted in Fantastic Four vol. 3, #54… might have to go snag a copy.)
...
Unbeknownst to me, later I would work
with Len Wein and go to lunch with him once a week on the Disney lot. I
would interview George Pérez for a special spotlight. I'd see Chris
Claremont almost every day, because he was walking to work through
Madison Square Park in one direction, and I was walking in the other
direction, and we'd stop and say hi once in a while.

FF #176 Reprint |
|
From Vu
Looking through the latest reprint of FANTASTIC FOUR #176, I thought these panels were pretty amusing.
Panel One: Jack Kirby
Panel Two: George Pérez and Roy Thomas
Panel Three: Stan Lee
The Marvel staff appearances in comes
(drawn by Pérez) isn't that uncommon back in the 70s and 80s. In fact,
George's first work (in ASTONISHING TALES #25) is about Marvel staff.
