"A true classic! It's the return of the Composite Superman!"
"Looking forward to a few Marvel covers this month. Now, if only the Fantastic Four had secret identities..."
"See, here's the tricky part. You DO have secret identities on this cover; of Pureheart the Powerful, Captain Hero, and Super Teen. "
"Here's my transition cover... winter sports and secret identities. Hope it's suitable. Mary IS playing in the snow...
"
"
"Captain Marvel Jr. and his fierce fists of... a machine gun?!?!?"
"Beautful, my friend! I've got one or two Marvel Family covers left!"
"Mary Marvel gets in on the winter fun as well!"
"When Captain Marvel Jr. plays Crack the Whip, he really plays Crack the Whip!"
"They're peculiar penguins... they probably have singular pastimes."
"Commander, for an upcoming column (or two), I'd like to see a collexion :) of your top 10 Great Moments in Comics. Or maybe a DC list and a Marvel list. I'm fascinated in knowing your opinion. Thanks!

"Somehow, Bugs and Petunia had a romantic relationship. Where's Porky?"
"Good ol' Betty! She has her own type of winter sports!"
"Would you believe bare knuckles fighting is a winter sport...?"
"Grand considerable task there, Cap. I don't envy you sorting between Earth-1, Earth-2, and Earth-B. I guess everything in the Golden Age happened on Earth-2. But may I remind you of JLA #s 100 - 102, which did take place on Earth-2."
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
