A prime FANTASTIC FOUR page from issue #63 by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott. On this particular page, most all of Kirby’s border notes are still extant, so you can see what Stan had to work with while dialoguing.
TRITON USES AIR-JET GUN, HE USED IN THE NEGATIVE ZONE TO RESCUE REED—PROPELS HIMSELF TO ROOF
HE SHOOTS UP SO FAST, BLASTAAR’S SHOT MISSES HIM
EXERTING GREAT POWER, TRITON BELTS BLASTAAR BEFORE HE CAN BLAST AGAIN
TRITON WANGS OUT EVEN HARDER—KNOWING HE MUST KNOCK OUT BLASTAAR OR BE BLOWN TO SIMTHEREENS
Additionally, there are a few legible notes from Stan to production manager Sol Brodsky:
TELL TRITON—TO WAIT! IT ISN’T HIS FIGHT! HE’S DONE HIS SHARE—!
SPACE BETWEEN THESE 2 BALLOONS
