I bought a "mutant" comic new off the shelf several years ago. It was an issue of The Titans, which the first & last several pages were the Titans comic, but then a bunch of pages in the middle were from the then-current issue of JSA. Don't know how the middle of one comic made it into a different comic, but I had to go buy another copy of the Titans issue to read the story.

I just found this stamped on the back of a board of Excalibur #6 that I just recently bought at a local shop and thought it was interesting to share. i.imgur.com/EgnN1ue.jpg Edit:Ron Lim art yay!

That's kind of cool!
I wonder why it's there?
Dunno. It's kind of weird. I googled the place, but it doesn't come up if they even exist or have a website. It's a town up by Tulsa somewhere, but I never go up that way so have no idea. It might be as old as close to when the comic book was released.

I've told this story at the old boards, but I bought a "comic with personality" in Nashville, 1993. I think it was a back issue of JLA--one of the annual JSA crossovers (one with a Joe Kubert cover, as I recall). The first thing I noticed was that there was a number written in pencil at the bottom of every page. Every page. Next I noticed words circled on every page. Random words, it first appeared. But as I read the comic, I noticed a pattern in the circled words. They were all either numbers (10, 50, "one", "two", etc.), homophones of numbers ("to", "too", "for", etc.) or otherwise based on numbers ("once", "second", etc.). Even if the words in question didn't have a numerical meaning (e.g. "I've only got secondsto deactivate that bomb!"), they were circled. A few calculations confirmed that the numbers penciled at the bottoms of the pages were the sums of the numbers that were circled on that page. I think I checked every page for errors. The sums were all correct, and I didn't see any "number words" that the mysterious previous owner had missed. That doesn't surprise me, as I assume I was looking at the work of a "Rain Man" who was obsessed with numbers, and unlikely to make mistakes. A few days later, I bought another back issue from the same store, and it had the same kinds of penciled calculations on every page.

LOL! You say "old" like 1987 was that long ago.
Shit. It was. :/
High school class of 1987 here, please don't remind me how long ago it was!

I used to have a copy of Freedom Fighters #15, throughout which someone had drawn hairy dicks on the characters. The artist, of the comic not the graffiti, was named Dick Ayers.
