I don’t know if many of you realise but it is generally thought the first Silver Age super hero comic (Fantastic Four #1) was published in June 1961, and it is thought that the Marvel Universe was named after this date, 61/6, as the 616 universe. And I for one, felt John Kennedy was a huge influence on the enthusiasm and positiveness of the Marvel comics of the sixties, so to see such a significant connection between the Kennedy’s and the date of Marvel starting super heroes is quite an exciting thing to me. (I felt that the depressingly conservative Eisenhower/Nixon era was smashed by the young, new breed, Kennedy that was elected and took office in January 1961).
I have a screen shot from the program that showed the autograph as well.
