The Pre-Raphaelites would have adored Medusa; but really, she would have been the perfect artistic subject for any era.

I like Medusa. And I like the way she's been written in the Fantastic Four, even since the 60's., as a serious, strong leader, but boy does she have a dumb super-power.
Thanks for the comments, Anonymous. Your point of view is certainly a valid one. I do think Medusa's power was more imaginatively used in her early appearances with the Frightful Four than was the case later on.
That gorgeous pin-up of Medusa from FF Annual #5 shows how stunningly beautiful she is more than possibly any other Medusa drawing! How can Reed Richards possibly resist Medusa's charm? It is bye-bye time for Susan Storm!
It really is a great pin-up, isn't it? Definitely the most striking of the ones in that annual.
