Marvel Bullpen 1969
For comic book geeks only - here's a four-page insert from Fantastic Four Annual #7 (1969) - featuring photographs of many of the Marvel artists, writers, and creators of the time.
There are a number of my favorite artists here - John Romita, John Buscema, Neal Adams, Steranko, Herb Trimpe, Dick Ayers, Gene Colan... one of my all-time favorites John Severin, Bill Everett (who created Sub-Mariner), and Jack Kirby (who, along with Stan Lee, created just about everything else). Sadly, this was well after Steve Ditko (co-creator of Spider-Man, and the comics equivalent of J.D. Salinger) left the company.
