Marvel Feature #3

Comments: An orange Xemnu first appeared as “The Hulk” in JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #62 and 66 (reprinted in MONSTERS ON THE PROWL #11 and 14 with Xemnu colored white and renamed “The Titan”); here he becomes (likely) the first pre-FF giant monster to appear in an Earth-616 story, with Fin Fang Foom to be the most notable one to appear. This issue contains a large number of contemporary/pop culture references, including Archie Bunker (main character of the popular TV series ALL IN THE FAMILY), controversial Congress member Adam Clayton Powell, and the sci-fi book and movie THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN by Michael Crichton. Also, 1950s kid show HOWDY DOODY and 1930s-40s Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd, puppets of ventriloquist Edgar Bergen.
