The Threat of the Torrid Twosome!
Well whadya know? Two decent Strange Tales comics in a row! Not only do we finally get treated to an explanation as to why Johnny thinks he's being inconspicuous (he's a gullible dumb-ass, basically), but we get to see a little more internal strife from the Four. Sure, this isn't the first time Johnny's left in a huff and gruff, but this time he teams up with a world class acrobat! Yup, it's pretty silly, but in an endearing way at least—it doesn't pander and try to make the story any bigger than it is, and well, I enjoyed it. Especially the conclusion that makes use of the Four's powers without seeming contrived or commonplace. Oh and I almost forgot! Kirby is nowhere to be seen this month. In his place, doing inks and pencils is Dick Ayers and yeah, he does a great job at making his inks pop more this way.
