"Regarding the Tinkerer, I acquired a reprint of Spider-Man #2 fairly early on, and he was the villain in a Hulk story when I was a kid in the ‘70s. I was actually surprised when I acquired Spider-Man #160, several years later as a backissue,…"

Thank you for the kind words, Richard. They really made my day! I am very grateful for the amount of interests in my threads, though the success of the JLA/JSA ones are surely due to the affections we have to the subject not my meager commentary.
If you are interested, I have several sub headings: "I Was Wondering", "Silver Sightings" and "Fan of Bronze".
Great to have you here and thanks again!

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mrs.sandraessien@yahoo.com) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
