"I LOVE LOVE LOVE that a lot of these super power covers are STILL going to be Curt Swan!"
"Here's this month's crossover cover! Curt Swan, super-speed, and #15!"
"My crush was Phantom Girl. And Supergirl, of course."
"It's Supergirl vs Satan Girl, neither of whom made the cover, sadly. I LOVED Curt Swan's Supergirl... had a tremendous crush on her."
"Lightning Lad was taking a year off dead for tax purposes. This might be the first "returns from the dead" comic ever."
"The immediate aspect which occurs to me is... why assume Reed Richards was 18 when he went to college? We are talking about the smartest man in the Marvel Universe (shut up, von Doom.) I would assume that Reed was at most 16 when he went to…"
"And then there's the case of Vance Astro, of course."
"Curt Swan and George Klein - what a pairing!"

Comments
Eric,
All I can say is "Aw, damn!" For weeks now, I've been meaning to state in a comment to one of my Deck Log articles how much I appreciate your unflagging support and your incisive commentary on my column. I kept putting it off because I never found the right place, or was too busy to add a comment, or any of the hundred of things we put off doing stuff we should.
Of all the members of this board, you were my most loyal reader, and compliment or criticism or just plain commentary, I always looked forward to seeing you post a comment. You're one of the Silver-Age experts who kept me on my toes.
So I shall miss your presence here, probably more than most. But it's your decision, friend. I don't stand in your shoes. Each of us has to determine what is right for himself and then act accordingly. I'd prefer you stay, but if you feel you have to go, then go with my blessing. And my regrets.
Godspeed,
Adam
