Aliens who can change shape into anyone (or any thing) and have a natural inclination to bicker among themselves must have the potential to be comedy gold. You HAVE to make a pitch to Marvel for a period series in which a trio of Skrull agents assigned to Earth during Marvel's 60's and 70's repeatedly botch their missions in the backgrounds of existing stories without being noticed by the heroes. (The Skrulls temporarily lost their powers in the mid-80's, so that would justify using old Kirby and Ditko character designs.)
ReplyDeleteIt's a while ago now, but I seem to remember that one of the pitches Scott Gray and I flung at Marvel when we were pitching Fin Fang Four was something not unlike that. They went with FFF because apparently the Skrull thing was quite similar to something else that had been done? I don't keep up with this stuff enough to know what that might have been, though.
