I often have excellent recall.  I can always remember the stuff cut out of Scrubs and Seinfeld for syndication purposes, for example.

STAN LEE
JACK KIRBY
JOHN BYRNE

as the authors, but I'm in good company!

It's Wyatt Wingfoot.

It's definitely not Sgt. Fury.  No five o'clock shadow.

I saw a guy (who may have been in his mid to late 30's) wearing this shirt at the Incredible Hulk's local premiere...Not the exact one mind you. As far as I know anyway.... I think it was to let the rest of us nerds in attendance at the midnight showing (on a Thursday) that he was in fact the biggest nerd there... He also made a couple of Hulk poses that clinched it...

There is a mantra comic fans should learn to chant (silently!) to themselves
when they are surrounded by civilians. I will not behave as they expect. I
will not behave as they expect. I will not behave as they expect. . .

I thought it was WW2 Nick Fury also.

Why would Wyatt Wingfoot be on a t-shirt?

I'm baffled.  I want to say it's Ben Grimm...

Gerry was right. It is from the cover of FF # 54. I had to go look it up. It was driving me crazy.

They changed the highlight color for Wyatt's hair. How weird is that? If they were willing to slap some non-FF characters on the shirt anyways, why not exchange Iron Man or Cyclops for Wyatt?

NINE of the heads came from that one cover.

No girls allowed, apparently!

Now we need to pin down that Spider-Man, Hulk, Silver Surfer, Thor, Captain America, and Falcon.

I wonder how much mileage the modern internet would have gotten out of
the Panther being colored as a White guy on that cover?

(Tiniest little sliver of flesh visible, and the colorist gets it wrong!)
