I'm up to issue #50 of Amazing Spider-Man, as research for my thesis, paying particular attention to Daily Bugle scenes and newspaper headlines. And yet, I have to find the fabled "Spider-Man: Threat or Menace?" headline.
Does it only exist in the pop
I've already posted about Fables & Bill Willingham in the Fables "Great Crossover" thread (since it was the active Fables thread). He was the guest I was most interested in, but there was an especially rich guest list this year. Top of the rest was

Read more…Over on the "Questions" thread, one query was, "Where has Clark Kent been while Superman was on New Krypton? Was that explained?" Among the responses was this from Rob Staeger:
