It’s getting harder and harder to remember as the years wear on, but I want to say this is one of the early comics I got as part of The Great eBay…

Stop trying to make The Enforcers happen! They’re a low-rent carnival act! Literally no one but Ditko could possibly make them work. “Deadlier than ever!” There was nowhere to go but up!…
