Love these!

Okay, the first Recorder is 417, created by Bob Layton and who appeared in the minis starring Hercules from '82 onwards.

Next is 417, from Thor. Created in 1966 by Stan and Jack, this iteration is copied from the Trimpe-Rubinstein image from the first Official Handbook which differs from any comicbook version. I know this as I own the original art! Herb passed it on to me in London in February this year.

Stumped on the next Recorder. The original had the double-button belt feature, but now "boots". Ron Frenz reinstated that look, initially without the "boots", when he used the Recorder in the 80s. So, a bit unsure.

I'd love to know your source for the third image.

(And, obviously, "Artie" is from She-Hulk.  The short-lived Analyzer form appeared in Thor #422, if memory serves.)

Anyway, great work on these! They're really brilliant.

Robert.
