Though this may equally belong in the "You know you're a comic-book nerd if..." thread, who else has been such an addict that they even read the indicia?
The reason I ask is from reading Grimjack and Jon Sable recently and noticing the amusing comments in some of the indicia. Were First the only ones to do this ? Surely not, I do vaguely remember coming across others in my dim dark past.
Any examples you big brains know of ?? |

I usually read the indicia, though I've never found anything amusing there.

I'd read something somewhere kind of quippy in the indicia, but I didn't remember it being First, though that's not a surprise.

I know the Image guys did it back in the 90s... and PAD does it all the time... First seems like they might have been first, though... unless it was Elfquest? That seems like the sorta thing Richard Pini would do.

There's some in Jon Sable, Freelance form First as well and it got mentioned in a letter in that letter column in one of the early issues, and the editor explained how and why it was happening at first...can't remember exactly as I read through that run last year mostly, but the gist was there was an assistant editor or production guy who was having a lark doing it in all the books he worked on.

Doctor Who Magazine has been adding funny remarks to the indicia since the 90s, I believe. 2000 AD does it sometimes, too.
