The single was entitled, “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?” This photo was the flip-side to the US version of the single, shot by photographer Jerry Schatzberg, who famously shot the Dylan “Blonde On Blonde,” LP. He later became a noted filmmaker.

In the UK, the song reached #5, and reached US #9. It also reached Top Ten in Sweden, Norway, Germany, Ireland and The Netherlands (#2).

Two 1966 promo films were recently released on the Rolling Stones website. One featured the group as they appeared on the New York- Schatzberg shoot, and the other from a live Royal Albert Hall performance in London.

It was a DC book that kicked off the Silver Age of comics with Showcase #4 in 1956. Fantastic Four #1 didn't debut until 1961 and it took more than a decade before Marvel comics sales overtook DC. Stan had given up writing full time by then. For the vast majority of his career at Marvel he essentially functioned as a brand ambassador and pitch man. US comics got stuck in a weird superhero monoculture for a couple of decades. Meanwhile over in France, Japan and Korea there was a full scale mass market comic book revolution that eclipses the US industry in scale by an order of magnitude. Stan was important for sure , but his greatest production was himself.
