Happy Birthday, King

There can only be one. And he was it. If he hadn't already existed, someone would have needed to make him up in order to give birth to the Marvel Age of comics (though he was busting heads and working his heart out long before that.)

That's the cover of the first comic book I can remember reading. And at the tender age of five, it was nearly too much for me to take. Hell, I'm still feeling the after-effects of being clobbered by the King's artwork, even now.
