Ever thought about doing a 'fan tribute' short story for the blog? It wouldn't be for publication in a book, and as you wouldn't be profiting from it, I don't think there'd be much of a problem with copyright. You could always amend the names slightly if you feared there might be; Jupitus Jones, Rob Andrews, and Pete Cranshaw for example.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787687837760913347.post-84069967215269730112020-12-17T21:24:03.527+00:002020-12-17T21:24:03.527+00:00It's very scary that I'm right about that,...It's very scary that I'm right about that, because if that's the 1979 Annual, it means that it came out in 1978. However, had you asked me when I saw it in the CO-OP (not C0-OP), I'd have said that it feels like it was around 12-15 years ago, not the 42 years it actually is. That's more than two thirds of my life away.

I remember looking at the Hulk one in the local C0-OP, but I didn't buy it. Was that the one with the Hulk tale 'The Beauty & The Beast'? If so, they omitted the splash page (deliberately) to fit the story in. If it wasn't that one, it was a later one.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
