One of the pages that's available in the free preview of Alter Ego #88 - issuu.com/twomorrows/docs/alterego88preview/27 - has this information: "...former Fawcett Publications executive comics editor Will Lieberson and his brother Martin, along with their friend Bernie Miller and his brother Joe. The foursome, after lamenting the glory days of Captain Marvel's supremacy on the newsstands, and witnessing a mid-60s super-hero resurgence in the marketplace, combined their last names and formed Milson Publishing Company, Inc. Milson immediately retained the vastly competent services of Captain Marvel's top creative team during the Golden Age of Comics - writer Otto Binder and artist C. C. Beck. [...] Binder and Beck were paid by Milson for their work on the three Fatman issues - and were actually promised a share of the publisher's profits when they'd start rolling in. But there were never any proceeds gained from Milson's initial $64,000 investment - flushed away by failure to arrange proper distribution of the book. Milson filed for bankruptcy shortly after the three issues were completed..."

I have Facebook, LinkedIn and Fetlife accounts. I've avoided Instagram because they don't even let me look at anything on Instagram unless I sign up. I've avoided Reddit because it looks like it could be a huge time sink. If I had that kind of time I'd go back to Metafilter; I did enjoy that site. I'm still on a few Google Groups and email lists. I check in on the current CBR forum occasionally, and I participate in a few areas of the city-data.com forum.

I recently learned that I am exactly 12 days older than Steve Rude.

Same here! I thought an Italian hero was a sandwich.

- Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before June 2013. Time to update the month. Looks like several people have forgotten to change it recently. I know I often forget when I'm posting a new contest. I always update the day to vote, but miss this one. I noticed it this week because you put the rules at the beginning.
