Who wrote the music?

Is it just me or do others find some of the music written for these cartoon "segments" to be quite brilliant. Most of the themes only ran for up to 20 seconds but they were just great...well orchestrated, sometimes with a full orchestra and male/female voice choir. My personal favourite was the "Prince Namor" theme... you know:

"Prince Namor, The Sub-Mariner"

Stronger than a whale, he can swim anywhere
He can breathe under water and go flying through the air
The noble Sub-Mariner, prince of the deep
So beware you deadly demons, Lord Namor of Atlantis
is the Prince of the Deep.

Who wrote them??? I've scoured the net looking for info but have so far drawn a blank. Any ideas???

I really love the scores used

I don't care if it was some generic stock music or something of the sort but its pretty cool to me

Jack (aka Jacques) Urbont wrote those memorable theme songs for the 1966 shows. I have no idea if he also composed the incidental music for the shows, however. The fact that Urbont managed to make Gamma Rays rhyme with Unglamorous in that Hulk theme is hilarious. My favorite is his Thor, followed closely by Sub-Mariner.

I wish they had them all on cd.
