Thanks for list help from Josh65 and Guy. Notably, no thanks for Al Feldstein and Joe Maneely, the creators of Jimmy Woo, or for Bill Mantlo and Michael Golden who gave us the Micronauts and expanded the Microverse. But most egregiously, no credit for Ray Cummings and Syd Shores whose original sub-atomic universe, later retrofitted as the Microverse, was created for Captain America #26 (1943).

Though as Bryan Hitch said, "The plethora of 'Thanks' many of us got on the Marvel movies certainly didn't pay any bills!"

If I was a speculator, I'd be putting money on Hulk #140, Enigma Force, and those Citizen Kang Annuals… maybe that may pay a bill or two.
