ITEM!

What I assume is the 'Stan Lee Meets' Free Postcard arrived at my local comic shop on August 9th. The front of the postcard features the art for the cover of Stan Lee Meets Spider-Man, while the back features, in miniscule size and in black & white, the art for the covers of S.L.M. Dr. Strange, S.L.M. The Thing, S.L.M. Dr. Doom and S.L.M. Spider-Man.

It's written on the back of the postcard that "To listen to a podcast with Stan Lee, visit Marvel.com," but I don't think the podcast is up on the site yet.

ITEM!

The cover of Comic Shop News #999 (out August 9th) has on the top right hand corner (in a very small size) the FF: The End illo by Davis/Farmer which was previously seen at http://www.newsarama.com/SDCC06/Marvel/mondo.html

Within CSN #999 is the following news bit:

"Apparently the Fantastic Four will face more than one end: Alan Davis is wrapping up his Fantastic Four: The End special, while Stan Lee & John Romita Jr. are 28 pages into their Fantastic Four: The End tale, which marks the first time that Lee has worked with JRJr."

The cover of CSN #999 will likely go up soon at http://web.mac.com/cliffbig/iWeb/CSNsid ... dcast.html

ITEM!

According to an ebay listing, Alan Davis was featured in an issue of Comic Collector (a UK fanzine). While the listing doesn't make it clear, I would guess Alan was spotlighted in either #2 or #10.

Interesting to see that there will also be rough-cut version of issue 1. More Davis pencils to drool over

I was flipping through Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe - 1990 Character Updates at a recent con, and noticed that the Davis/Rubinstein illustration of the Technet (first printed in The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89 #7) was reprinted within.

ITEM!

A five-page 'first look' at the Lee/Davis/Farmer tale from Stan Lee Meets Dr. Strange is up at http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/ ... firsts.htm

A correction to Comics Continuum's credits listing for Stan Lee Meets Dr. Strange: the other original story in Stan Lee Meets Dr. Strange is by Brian Bendis and Mark Bagley, not Joss Whedon and Michael Gaydos. Whedon and Gaydos' tale will see print in Stan Lee Meets Spider-Man.
