Always wondered why this never gets attention as a significant Marvel Silver Age key - total reboot a la Rawhide Kid, Lee & Kirby origin story, scarce in grade...
No, I'm not pumping it up to sell a copy! Honest!
Just acquired a decent copy for myself after quite a few months of searching and this thought occurred to me. Is it because he was not only a second-stringer, but a Western second-stringer, or are people just not aware of the significance?
And has anyone ever seen a copy without the hand-written issue number? The hand-written version is supposed to be the scarcer variant, but it's the only version I ever come across!
Thoughts/no one cares? Wah.
