Roy William Thomas, Jr. (born November 22, 1940) is an American comic book writer and editor, who was Stan Lee's first successor as editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics. He is possibly best known for introducing the pulp magazine hero Conan the Barbarian to American comics, with a series that added to the storyline of Robert E. Howard's character and helped launch a sword and sorcery trend in comics. Thomas is also known for his championing of Golden Age comic-book heroes – particularly the 1940s superhero team the Justice Society of America – and for lengthy writing stints on Marvel's X-Men and Avengers, and DC Comics' All-Star Squadron, among other titles.

Thomas was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2011.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, if "average" stories of Marvel's "Hard-Luck" Heroes
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2002
Writer Roy Thomas & artist Werner Roth had a tough act to follow when they became the regular creative team on X-MEN in the mid-60's (following Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and-- at times-- Chic Stone). These early stories may come as a shock to anyone used to the overly-complex, darkly angst-ridden nightmare world that the ever-growing number of X-books have become over the last 25 years. They tend to finish in 1 or 2 issues, and Roth's art is almost refreshingly "clean", light and upbeat! With most of Marvel's books getting more visually "spectacular", X-MEN may have seemed an "outsider" to the rest of the line at the time. (Next to art by Jack Kirby on FANTASTIC FOUR, THOR & CAPTAIN AMERICA, Gene Colan on IRON MAN and DAREDEVIL, John Romita on SPIDER-MAN and Jim Steranko on S.H.I.E.L.D., these X-MEN stories have a Saturday-morning cartoon look by comparison!)
Between X-MEN and THE AVENGERS, Roy was learning how to write comics on-the-job! His dialogue is something I can only take in small doses here, as he tries to cram every available space with word balloons, whether it's called for or not. Without Stan's sense of humor, Roy's plots have to stand on their own-- at times it feels like someone imitating a Marvel Comic more than an actual one. Roy improved over time, as his later work on this series with Neal Adams proved.
A strange thought hit me by the end of the volume-- many of the featured villains were "borrowed" from other heroes' series! This is evident in my favorite story here, the 2-parter with Count Nefaria and a group of hired super-villains. You've got The Plantman and The Eel (Human Torch baddies from STRANGE TALES), The Scarecrow & The Unicorn (Iron Man foes from SUSPENSE) and The Porcupine (an Ant-Man & Wasp villain from ASTONISH, for cryin' out loud!). They're all pretty much 2nd-stringers, yet it's fun seeing them almost act like a "team"!
One story has Jack Sparling art in such a different style it looks really odd in here-- all the rest are by Werner Roth. Judging from some of the "off-duty" scenes it appears Roth may have been more comfortable with romance than superheroics (a trait he shared with Iron Man artist Don Heck). One thing caught my attention reading this book-- Werner Roth's version of Jean Grey (Marvel Girl) bears an UNCANNY resemblance to actress Famke Janssen, who played the character in the recent X-MEN movie! It was as though he'd used her for his model-- I wonder if the producers used Roth's art as reference while casting the film?

2.0 out of 5 stars Complete slog

It feels like no real advances happen for the overall plot. Just some teases of a secret organization. There’s a lot of returning villains and/or villains from other comics and it honestly does nothing for me. Also, the complete verbal diarrhea on every page is mentally draining.

Think you remember these classics?
If you haven't read them panel-by-panel on Kindle in vivid colour - you're missing a treat!
These episodes race by like a classic film with familiar lines but also some forgotten scenes and a warm heart seldom seen in modern comics.
Here you get the debut of the hillariously ugly-because-he's-a-villain Banshee, a knock off Iron Man in Cobalt Man, Count Nafaria before his battle with Thunderbird and other wonderfully wacky enemies as El Tigre/Kublacan and the deadly Locust!
Best of all though, the Mimic gets his spotlight!
These are well worthy of your attention again.
Take another look!
