Let me help you feel worse: I hardly ever read books by Marvel back in the sixties, but I still knew that. ;-) (Okay, truth be told: I did start reading their stuff in the 80s, and between flashbacks, reprints, and old issues have some idea of what was going on in the early days. However, Spiderman is still not one of my favorites: too much angst, not enough action. Though there are those who like it for just that reason. YMMV.) -- Ronn! :) God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America! My home, sweet home. -- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
