I recently watched a couple of episodes of Iron Man from the Marvel Super-Heroes cartoons that first ran in 1966, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I know the animation was considered crude even for back then, but whatever it lacks is made up by the fact that the artwork from the actual comics was used to bring it to life. The breakneck pacing of those early comic tales really made them perfect for this Saturday morning format.

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents don't get nearly enough love, though some of them seem to pop up everywhere. I can't even mention all the things I do when NoMan's around.
I couldn't agree more with that!! Seeing the MMMS gang getting on tv for the first time was a real treat... and that the artwork was used directly from the comics made it unreal! They CARED!!
Now, you also used T.H.U.N.D.E.R.'s Dynamo?? Holy Doc Brown!! Wally Wood is Back!
Great art style and talent.
This is a really fantastic cover. The art blends nicely
I never saw those old Marvel cartoons till my parents got cable-TV in the mid-Seventies. I had read about them, of course! Including how they were basically syndicated through different independent stations like WWOR (as Old Channel 9 out of NJ was known) during the Sixties. And the TV set I watched on Saturday mornings, back then, only got the Big Three plus Old Channel 5 (WNEW/NYC)!
So, it was with mixed feelings when I watched the WPIX premier of those already decade-old cartoons circa 1976. A slight feeling of disappointment that the animation was more like "Clutch Cargo" than either N-B or Filmation. But, also, pleasant surprise that I recognized the voice of Tony "Iron Man" Stark as that of John Vernon! The versatile character actor then-most famous for playing Dean Wormser in "Animal House."
I also got a kick out of the cute theme song for the Incredible Hulk.
:-)
Re: today's depiction? Awesome! It makes me hope for a sequel between Raven of the Teen Titans and her male T.H.U.N.D.E.R. agent namesake.
Or, failing that, a team-up between Dynamo's arch-enemy and singer Bruce Dickinson, perhaps?
;-)
Yes, great combo Ross! Finding these visual elements must have been a rigorous search. I only saw the old Marvel cartoons a couple times at a friends house, where they lived on a hill and had a super high antennae that could pull in the TV signal from Detroit. But now I can't help but remember that old song by Paul McCartney & Wings. Sorry about that earworm group. Will the Fab Four return?
For some reason I want to put a length of conspiracy-theory red string connecting #4095, #4096, #4102, and this cover, as if some mastermind were directing the monsters/villains of each team-up toward their targeted heroes. I suppose it could be a combined effort of Brainiac and the High Evolutionary, but who knows?
That aside, I love these covers with namesake characters. Sandman's is pretty memorable, I love the Elasti-Girl one, Enchantress has happened, I recall seeing Tarantula, and of course we can't forget the Captains Marvel (one of this blog's great classics). It's part of why I keep wanting to see it done with Ghost (among others).
Speaking of Ghost, I have a small amendment to my request in teaming her up with Shadowcat and Phantom Girl: wait for Christmastime, and let them pay a visit to some modern-day Scrooge.
@Bob Greenwade: why not during Xmas-in-July?
2 thumbs up
I read that briefly as Iron Man and DynoMutt. I wonder what Tony would think of BF’s cybernetic best friend.
@Aaron: "With a man's best friend like him, I'd never need enemies."
