Also, if you look at Marvel #1 closely, Dad's name appears. Hope you update the original post! - MGGMichael Gilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862302322913470536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2577154746554800558.post-72016339650558121912014-06-16T04:39:24.972-07:002014-06-16T04:39:24.972-07:00There are a few things to note here.

And, as these particular felons seem to have an interest in comic books, they may reject out-of-hand the claim that a <i>secret identity</i> is an expression of cowardice.<br /><br />• As to the hostilities concerning <i>The Golden Era of the Art Panelologic</i>, I would note that <b>New acquaintances may be new vulnerabilities of one sort … or of <i>another</i>.</b> Amongst other things, I would recommend a very <i>thorough</i> checking into the background of <i>anyone</i> to whom you give independent access to the Pantheon. I presume that, on some level, you regard yourself as a <i>custodian</i> of your collection, in which case you might regard your responsibilities as being more than to just yourself. Likewise, be concerned for the safety of <i>manuscripts</i>. <br /><br />• By the way, would the lock that you use on the Panetheon be vulnerable to something so simple as a <i>bump key</i>? <br /><br />• Vapo Man was originally called “Vapo-Man”, and his origin may be found in <a href="http://fourcolorshadows.blogspot.com/2012/06/vapo-man-sam-gilman-1941.html" rel="nofollow">an entry for 10 Jun 2012 at <i>Four-Color Shadows</i></a>, the commendable 'blog of Steven “Booksteve” Thompson. Thompson does not identify the issue in which the story first appeared, but it was <i>Liberty Scouts Comics</i> #2, for June of '41. The story that you reproduce in this entry was for November of '41. <br /><br />• Sam Gilman, rather than dying during one of the great many fiascos of World War II, went into another line of work, and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0319462/" rel="nofollow">many would recognize him from some of his later efforts</a>.Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.com
