Red Arrow is correct even though I mis-spelt Static

Captain Marvel is the correct answer. Too bad the lawsuit and anti-comic book sentiment caused Fawcett to get out of the super-hero business. Outdoor Miner is up.

Real Fact Comics #6 is famous for being the first appearance of Tommy Tomorrow. It's also famous for having a letter column appearance by someone who would become an award-winning science fiction author. Name that author.

Total guess since it's the first name that popped into my head: Ray Bradbury?

No to all.

Hint: He's had some comic book work published recently.

Stephen King? (more of a horror guy, than a sci-fi guy...)

Okay, so he must be old enough to have had a letter published in a comic in the late forties (which means probably born at least before 1940), but presumably he's still alive if he's had comic work published recently.

Hmm... everyone I can think of seems to be either too young or dead.

There's another good candidate who's name escaped me when I guessed King, but I have to wait 'til OM confirms or denies, dammit! I think my next guess is right, but I'm afraid someone else will get it first! frown

Indeed it is correct.

Ellison recently had a story published in The Spirit.

Great job, Blacula. You're up!

that threw me off, since I read his to exclude his older comics work from the 80s.


The childhood friend Exnihil never had.
