    Good for you, but I confess to not getting the joke.

    It's a reference to a famous act of bowdlerizing* to one of Jim Steranko's stories, in Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD #2 (July 1968).

    Here's an article from CBR that spells things out: "Comic Book Legends Revealed #219"

    (The Marvel Fandom site says John Romita Sr. made the edits to the page.)

    Thanks for the link, CK! I just got back in, and your link explained it better than I ever could!

    Nice! (I say this to congratulate both you AND Batman...)

    Ha, thanks!

    Incidentally, I read this issue of Batman today, and really liked it. It looks like the upswing in mood after a dour year is finally happening!
