Have a great day! (Damn, I remember buying that comic on the stands!)

The story I heard was that the original purpose of the cover date was to tell newspaper stands when to take magazines and comics off the stand to return them. Any truth to that?

Happy birthday. I know, where I was growing up at-least, the grocery/department stores always sold last months comics (so the date was fairly accurate) and the comic shops sold them on-time. I thought it maybe had something to do with that.

This is reincarnation at its best.

The day Man-Mountain Marko met his demise, the Mikester rose from the ashes...

Happy birthday!

That cover cracked me up. It's like, Spider-man can beat Doctor Octopus and the various Goblins and Hobgoblins, but some Bronx hoodlum in a leather jacket is totally taking him to the cleaners. "He discovered my one weakness... being punched really hard!"
