Based on the title alone, Stan Lee ought to be annoyed about at least one of these Sharon Moody pieces too, I think. That aside, I've heard it said that if Roy Lichtenstein had done his thing in recent times, he'd have been figuratively atomized by lawsuits. Perhaps we'll see that theory put to the test here.

By the time annuals came back, they were parts of crossover events (Armageddon 2001), so the 1988 story remained shelved.
