Well, I tried to write it..... What if Howard The Duck meets Captain America? "You're a duck!" "Waugh! You need bigger wings to get off the ground, kid! Why are they attached to your head, anyway?" |

It was funny to me that Gerber never thought to pair the two up. He could have done a great road trip/seeing America parody |

Another What If recurring dream revolves around Jim Aparo working for Marvel. How great would Aparo doing Marvel Team Up be with Spidey? Seeing his version of all the great and not so greats! Aparo on Daredevil is how awesome to contemplate? Aparo doing 70s Captain America and Falcon is all kinds of wonderful. Gimme an Aparo Black Panther series please. What would a Antman/Giant Man/Yellowjacket/Wasp ongoing be like with Hank going through ALL his identities & costumes? An Aparo X-Men, originals or new would be so cool. Aparo doing the Marvel Western heroes! So much goodness which might have been given us...

What if Alan Moore never moved on to American comics and instead did a Watchmen set in England using old British comics characters?

What if Alan Moore had a lawyer (or a better one) scrutinize his Watchman contract before signing it. As I’ve said before, it almost certainly wouldn’t have made a difference. DC’s actions were completely unprecedented. You have to assume that the attorney would anticipate something that has never been done before. It’s possible an attorney could have anticipated it, but it’s extraordinarily unlikely. |

It’s possible an attorney could have anticipated it, but it’s extraordinarily unlikely. Mainstream book publishing contracts of that era had things like that built in, though more for authors with clout, obviously. The what if scenario could be that he consults someone who had worked with book publishers and educated them on the history of comic book publishers, particularly the history of Siegel & Shuster. Then the marching orders would be, conceive of every possible way they could screw me with this, no matter how bizarre and determine a counter. It's a stretch; but, so are most "what if?" exercises,. |

What if LB cole had done a Superman/Batman cover?
What if Steve Ditko had worked on Batman?
What if Steranko had done a Silver Surfer/Galactis cosmic cover?
And finally, a What If story I wish had come around...What If Dr Octopus became a more water based villain and foe of the Sub Mariner

What if Scooby-Doo became a Marvel property - and we got Scooby-Doo Team-Up under the Marvel umbrella? I mean, gotta be worth seeing Daredevil and the Scooby Gang against Mister Fear, right? Or, Shaggy and Scooby running for their lives when Bruce Banner turns into the Hulk?

Or, Shaggy and Scooby running for their lives when Bruce Banner turns into the Hulk? Unfortunately when Marvel did have the Hanna Barbera properties and did a Scooby Doo title, they kept them separate from their own characters... I mean they didn't even use the Living Mummy for this one...  -M |

A few of their stories were reprinted in a UK annual, albeit in black and white. The mummy one was one of them (and I thought the revelation at the end was one of the best ever!). There was also an issue with “King Neptune” as one of their antagonists.
