Reading your posts always makes me want to dig through the closet to find certain books.

His whole career was based on flooding the comics market with as many knock-offs as he possibly could. Even the Fantastic Four was to have been a rip-off of the Justice League...<BR/><BR/>Man, just think though.

They should've just stuck with a handful of their best titles and gone for gold, but I guess the spite got the better of them.
