They have reprinted many of them in both Marvel Tales and Essential volumes.

That cover troubled me. The Thing's fist and Reed's stretching arm cover the
Super Skrull's upper limbs. Where is that gout of flame coming from? Is he
spitting it?

JB, was this the first time you'd drawn the Super-Skrull in an issue?

Never noticed that before... also just noticed that both fists are left-handed. This issue was unobtainable for me for years and I had read the other chapter when it came out. Finding this and and seeing the cover was pretty disappointing when comparing it to the other.

Caught this one years ago, but never noticed the flame bit before.

Not to jump the gun, but I think the first published JB Super Skrull was the end splash in Marvel Chillers 6 featuring Tigra the Werewoman and Red Wolf.

Yeah, Vinny. The crazy thing is I'm looking at that shot of the Super Skrull and I think that left hand is not that great, but then I realize it's still leagues above how well I draw hands.

It's also not mine. I had not included the stick in the shot, so Shooter
ordered it added. Putting it in the Skrull's right hand -- as it was on the
previous page!! -- would not have required any redrawing, so, naturally,
it was put in his left hand, and said hand was redrawn.
Because, if there is one rule that has seemed to last longest at Marvel, it is
that any way of doing something that requires damaging the art is the way
that must be applied!

Great. So some other huckster's lousy hand is better than the best of mine. At least if it was JB, I could live with that.

Reading this issue, I started to think that I didn't like something in the MTU artworks, but I didn't get what it could be. It was Dave Hunt's inks.
Hunt was a good inker, but when I was a kid I didn't love his inks on JB's arts. I thought those drawings wweren't "compltely by Byrne"!

Dave's inks softened my stuff at a time when everything was pretty mushy
to begin with. One of the reasons my star really caught fire when Terry
came on board, I think (even tho his inking style was very different from
what I was seeing in my mind's eye) was that he brought a hard edge and a
crispness to the line that was severely lacking in the pencils.
