People can be very stupid, and speaking as a person myself, I have been known to do stupid things. Take this issue, for example. ASM 601 had a backup story I felt…

ASM Annual 36
Behind this striking uncredited cover I assume is by Olivier Coipel, we have Marc Guggenheim at bat from the writing team, aided & abetted by Pat Olliffe, Andy Lanning and Antonio Fabela….
SSM 39
