The whole freature is reprinted at the end of Essential Fantastic Four volume 5. Worth the cover price alone!

Tom Palmer is C, definately. Really.

ISTR reading that Herb Trimpe was often mistaken for Alan Alda in his younger days, so I'm guessing H for Mr Rhymes-With-Shrimpy.

Buscema, Romita, Thomas, Adams and Colan are all fairly obvious : L, N, O, B and E respectively, and I'm guessing that the one that looks a bit like Derren Brown is Jim Steranko (D, for those of you fortunate enough not to have ever seen any of Derren Brown's appalling TV shows)

C is definately Tom Palmer, though. 100%.

Man, the one contest I have a shot at winning, but I can't enter it... or can I? *Strokes beard, looks shifty*

Thanks for the mention, Brian!

I got B (Neal Adams) and F (Gil Kane) and that's it.

I had two guys narrowed to two photos each. Listing the favorite first:

Neal Adams is either B or J (from his self-portrait on a special feature page in one of his 60s SPECTRE issues---thank you "Robby Reed's Dial B for Blog").

Roy Thomas I had down to either O or M (having seen several photos in THE COMICS JOURNAL and AMAZING HEROES), but its been flatly said he's not M, so I must have been right to make O the favorite here.

And I have absolutely no idea of anybody else!

Wrong on the first one right on the later.

I think Steranko was the easiest one because he just looks like a magician.

I'm pretty sure Roy Thomas is M and I'm going to guess that Steranko is D.
