Again with the Defenders

I'm less than a third of the way through Essential Defenders vol. 1 and it's a blast, so far. I just hit this cover from Marvel Feature #3 which was, technically, the 2nd issue of the Defenders as they came to be known:

Dang! That guy's scary!

OK, he looks like an arctic version of this guy

but check out what he's saying:

"And now that the Defenders are dead I shall steal--Earth's Children"

Yikes! What's he gonna do with all those kids? How are they going to fit on that rocket?

This is Roy-Thomas, Silver-Age, twelve-sandwich-eatin' comics!
