Grandmaster vs Prime-Mover (1st Appearance) (1968, 1974)

[@henryjaremek2644]

This was one of my favorite books back in the day ... still is .. Truly a Hidden Gem

[@leonardarbor1134]

Probably the best narrated comics in KZbin. Thanks for this.

[@Cosmic.Comics]

Thanks Leonard! New content coming at some point. It's a labor of love that I get to when I have the the time. Thanks for watching!

[@leonardarbor1134]

@@Cosmic.Comics looking forward to it!

Well, that bit at 3:00 is usually called a text piece, but here I'd rather label it "the part our artist was either too lazy to properly render or didn't have enough time or room to finish."

[@Cosmic.Comics]

Text piece. I knew it had to have a name. Thanks!

[@blackphoenix77]

Also called a text page. They filled a lot of left over pages in Golden Age comics with them.

[@benjaminkellog7311]

I find it interesting that the primary reason for the existence of text pages was so comic publishers could save money on postage. If you had at least two pages' worth of solid text, your product could be shipped cheaper through the mail as a "periodical" rather than a more expensive "comic." Hence, why everyone had bad pulp fiction in their comics for seemingly no good reason. It's mostly gone away, but some comics like Marvel's "Criminal" and everything from Ahoy Comics have brought the classic text piece back. Also, this is how we got the letter column and news pages like Marvel's "Bullpen Bulletins."

You have great videos. This was a really good story.

Dig it!

Could you maybe edit this so that you're not referring to Nighthawk as the Black Knight?

Neat ending. I'd have thought En Dwi Gast would've seen right through DD's ploy; surely he's seen some form of a rigged coin toss in his universal travels? Or was DD's coin entirely fair, not gimmicked in the way, say, Two-Face's "double header" might?

[@Cosmic.Comics]

Not to give anything away but let's say things ended the way En Dwi Gast wanted. I am coming back to this story but need to finish up some other storylines first

Good catch.

[@blackphoenix77]

Kinda disappointed that the Grandmaster doesn't look like Jeff Goldblum here....(just kidding)

[@Cosmic.Comics]

That is the one casting decision in think Marvel got wrong. It could have been right but the director and Jeff ruined it. The problem I have is Jeff Goldblum doesn't appear to act as the Grandmaster. He just acts like Jeff Goldblum. He comes across as a master planner and manipulator in the comics. In the MCU, he seems mostly comic. Not the Grandmaster I was looking for but glad to see things.going more cosmic.
