Is that a Indian reference?

I personally find it more distasteful to whitewash history and dance around it than to face the nasty past and try to learn from it and understand it. I don't know why Ten Little Indians is offensive. There was a movie with that very title. It was originally published as Ten Little Niggers. |

HITLER!!!Okay, now that I have your attention. I was reading a Bullpen Bulletins from the mid-70's and there was this big announcement that Marvel going to put out a photo biopic magazine about hitler. I've never heard of this or seen anything of the kind. But a google suggests they did actually put it out:  Anyone know anything about this? Not about this, but it's pretty similar to things Myron Fass and other... let's say downscale.... publishers put out at the time. With the magazine distribution network set up it would make sense for Marvel (or Curtis) to do something like this. I like in the lower right corner: Mr. Retailer--For Retail Display Announcement, see page 70. I'd like to think stores could get a cardboard standee of Hitler, but maybe it was how to display it without getting your windows smashed. |

Is that a Indian reference? I assume what Adam is referring to is sitting in that manner when I was in Elementary School (the early 80s) was called 'Indian style'... they replaced it with 'criss cross apple sauce' (Which is completely inane and annoying,IMO) 15-20 years ago, I think (my younger sister, who is now 26, still called it 'Indian Style') |

I remember debating about whether to buy it because there are no comics at all in it, but Stan's name in the masthead tipped the scales. I don't recall much about it; it's really for WWII fanatics and collectors of Marvel esoterica. |

So I'm reading this...  ...and suddenly it occurs to me that I don't recall seeing the "Enemy Ace" logo used on the cover. Flipping through the covers reprinted in this volume, I don't see it. Checking out the "Enemy Ace: War Idyll" miniseries...nope, not used there. It seems really weird that DC would commission a new logo for this volume, when most of the other Showcase collections used familiar, classic logos (exceptions include The War That Time Forgot and Tales of the Great Disaster, which didn't have established logos as far as I know). It's also not an especially good logo for this character, in my opinion--it looks too futuristic for a comic set 100 years ago, and the "C" doesn't seem to match, with its skinny stems. So my question is: Is this an "Enemy Ace" logo that was used somewhere and I just missed it? |

Hi, I am trying to find the issue of one of the Warren magazines (Creepy, Errie?) where a husband and wife are shipwrecked. The wife eats something that turns her into a tree, and then the tree ends up returning the wife as a baby. The comic starts out with people finding the husband and the baby. Can someone help me? Thanks!

It's a variant on the logo used for the Enemy Ace issue of Showcase (#57-58) but it looks to have been created specifically for the collection (unless *I* missed its use somewhere). Cei-U! I summon the uncertainty! |
