The first I remember being aware of it was when it got a mention in a one-shot 'No-Prize' mag by Marvel in the early '80s, wherein they took a humourous look at many of their mistakes over the years. So you weren't alone in not noticing that 'A' - most people didn't. (Though come to think of it, YOU should've - you ARE Mr. A after all.)Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419605150672201683.post-24936805278716417452017-07-29T22:34:05.808-07:002017-07-29T22:34:05.808-07:00I'm very happy you've enjoyed my ramblings...I'm very happy you've enjoyed my ramblings about the early days of Marvel. You're right, Stan took an enormous chance, but it paid dividends and allowed him to write the kind of character-driven tales he knew the readers were ready for.AirPiratePresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136561512898563240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419605150672201683.post-86570278795832540282017-07-29T22:32:29.882-07:002017-07-29T22:32:29.882-07:00You know, Mr R ...

I seem to recall Jack made a couple of errors on Cap's costume over the years ... someone must've noticed eventually, as it was corrected on the cover for Marvel Triple Action 15 [https://www.comics.org/issue/26891/cover/4/]. I'll add the corrected cover to the post. Great spot!AirPiratePresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136561512898563240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419605150672201683.post-78306206452702267962017-07-29T14:18:26.901-07:002017-07-29T14:18:26.901-07:00I had to wait until 1967 to read the Avengers tale...I had to wait until 1967 to read the Avengers tales covered here, Al, when they appeared in the pages of Terrific. Interesting that on Avengers #21, Cap has an 'A' on his chest instead of a star. Must've been the proofreader's day off that day. Shame about Flo Steinberg, eh? Another essential part of Marvel's history gone, alas.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419605150672201683.post-22213586729051860012017-07-29T07:23:51.077-07:002017-07-29T07:23:51.077-07:00Great post!

Imagine the JLA dropping their most powerful members, leaving Batman, Flash, Green Arrow and Black Canary to carry the book at that time.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272576541345523800noreply@blogger.com
