4. Incoming - picking up on Ibby's Iron Man as "Shell Head" - Force Works?

H.A.T.E. Mail - Nextwave?
Incoming - could this be some military comic book? Blackhawks, maybe?

I've tried a few of the military books Ibby, so if you can think of any other ones I think one of them will have to be right.

Yeah, I just saw your previous guesses now thoth. Good to see we're on the same page, between the 2 of us we should be able to eliminate most military books then maybe we realize we're on the wrong track and have a good laugh in public while secretly crying in our homes

You don't read my posts avidly as they arrive? >gasp! followed by insta-sulk<



Some of us have already started >sob + xtra-sulk<

Gee, I probably shouldn't tell thoth that I read all of Stalgie's posts as soon as they show up!

Nah! blatant favouritism is fine.

At least it's a reason why mine are down the pecking order.

Just don't ask me how far down tee hee.

You should have posted that one twice, to illustrate the echo of the bottomless pit my posts are at the bottom of.

Aw. You're not that far down

1 to go and you are all on the right track with your guesses for it.

Creature Commandos?

Nextwave? I'd never have remembered.

Not with the shellshock. The constant running under the thundering guns of all these *&!$ war comic titles...

Sgt. Fury and his howling commandoes?

Challengers of the Unknown?

I was just browsing a copy of The Vietnam Journal when I saw the word "Incoming." But it's not a big 2 book. Then, at the back, it turns out that the author, Don Lomax, also wrote a comic called The 'Nam! for Marvel.

Going for synchronicity with The 'Nam...

Well done TL! Next question is yours!

P.S. I loved researching this question. I was already familiar with most of the DC letter column titles but all of the Marvel ones were new to me. Some of them are just inspired. I love "What Now?!" in "What If...?". It's got a really funny picture of the Watcher being inundated with letters too. Haha They're all really good though.

Yay! That was a really good one Blacula. When rereading comics, it's not often I reread the letter cols. And newer comics don't have any at all. So that was quite a flashback.

I think 'Pinions was my favourite. That was another one I only got because I was looking at a book on birds when cleaning out the book cupboard. I'd forgotten all about that.

New question soonish..

^ What's funny is that I specifically asked this question just to bring 'Pinions to the world's attention again!

I loved that old Hawkman series and thought it was such a super-clever letter column title.

I Google-searched terms like "best comic book letter column titles" and etc. and that gave me all the rest, but none of the websites listed 'Pinions.

I think people must have forgotten it because it was such a minor, short-lived series, but I'm glad to see that at least one other person is a fan!

In a celebratory issue of Wonder Woman, she marries Superman in a tale that's reminiscent of the alternate futures in Legion #300.

What's the outcome of their marriage?

Super powered kids?

Aha! I knew if I typed "outcome" while wiggling my eyebrows suggestively that this would be the first response.

Not super powered kids.
