WTF Wednesday: Top o' the Skrull Home-world, Ma!

Hey, remember when a bunch of Skrulls decided they wanted to look and act like gangsters? I wonder where those intergalactic conquerers got that idea?

Click to Super-Skrull size!

Waaaait a minute — whadya think I am, some kinda mook? What could possibly explain the Fantastic Four (oh, and that Crystal dame) putting the lean on a couple of Skrulls in the back of a flying Model-A?


Oh, yeah ... STAN LEE and JACK KIRBY.

Looks like Stan and Jack watched Star Trek. And then changed it into crazy FF action, of course.

This story was published a year after that Star Trek episode, so you might be on to something!

It's full of crazy FF action for sure — half of it is Skrull gangsters, and the other half is the Thing in a full-out gladiator battle with someone called Torgo. Sniff ... it's beautiful ...
