The Quarrymen in: "Welcome To The Second Stone Age!"


 It's been a while since I have featured The Quarrymen, one of this blogs first teams.  Who better to usher in a new Stone Age, after all?

  1. A blase-looking Blok seems to be taking poor Benjamin's safety somewhat for granite.

    2. That's what I unofficially called Godzilla's post-1970s guest appearances in Marvel Comics after the expiration of the licensing deal with Toho.

  3. Maybe Badrock could visit the town of Bedrock.

      TWITCH! TWITCH!"

    1. Why, hanging out with the Ringo Kid, of course!

    2. But, they have not yet begun to gunfight.

  5. These guys ought to fight the Quarrymen from Disney's Gargoyles for ripping off their name and simultaneously persecuting either a racial minority or an endangered species (whichever way you want to look at the Gargoyles themselves); giving their group a bad name.

  6. I was thinking about these guys the other day, and how they might some time feature Stone Boy as a guest member.

    Also, maybe they could deal with a coalition of Titan (from Invincible), Tombstone, and perhaps others.

  7. Very smart cover, but I take it the dragon is not Fin Fang Foom, it seems to be either Giella or Stone am I right, which one?

    1. @Ross: I'm afraid I never heard of Giella except for Joe (a legendary inker for DC Comics). And you couldn't have been referring to Guilala from Shochiku's THE X FROM OUTER SPACE (1967). Because that kaiju basically resembled a giant-sized cross between Gonzo the Muppet and Machine Head the Freefall Warrior! So, I'm stumped.

    2. @Anon501: Ross _was_ referring to the late, great Mr. Giella as the inker who worked on that kaiju image. But, personally, I still think it looks more like Droom than Foom.

    3. As in "Droom The Living Lizard" from TALES TO ASTONISH v.1/#9.

  9. Where is Stone Boy who has been around longer than most of these Blokheads?

  10. He won't be born until another 985 years or so.

    1. By which point, Duck Dodgers might be using him for a bird bath (while singing "King For A Day") !

  11. Seeing Blok, I always think of Broot and that one Green Lantern that also looks like them.
    I know there are other rock and mineral characters out there like Amethyst. Jack Kirby's early designs of The Thing would be good here too.

  12. Hey! There's an idea. The Omega Men meet the Guardians of the Galaxy! I can just hear Rocket Raccoon making the introductions.

    "Groot? Broot. Broot? Groot!"

    LuckyDay, you're a genius. :-)

    1. Oh man, what an idea! Crisis on Rann and Thanagar as the Sleazoids invade.

    2. Wolverine's little nickname for the Brood? I love it! The only thing (arguably) scarier than them would be an army of Freakazoid clones...infected with the Carrion Virus.

  13. is Pebles Flintstone going to be their mascot?

  14. Wouldn't Strata, the L.E.G.I.O.N. member from Blok's homeworld, be more year-appropriate (with no time-travel needed) for for this team?
