Letter writing is a lost art…

How about some MCG, Marvelmania, or MMMS stationary to put you back in the mood?

Do you have a favorite cover or story where a Spider-Man villain shows up to create some mayhem?

In this case, Herb Trimpe covered the Sandman, special guest villaining in Incredible Hulk 138 (1970).

Murphy Anderson covered Hawkman 9 (1965).

Thanks for the rec. Yeah, I’ve studied the Holocaust for 25 years, and have spent quite a bit of time with survivors. It is indeed disturbing.

Next prose read. I’ve decided to alternate light-hearted subjects (as my just-concluded book on baseball collecting) with topics in which I have a passionate interest, that unfortunately may help me better understand our times.

I’ve had my eye on this one since 2002, when I first visited the USHMM.
