Sitting on the floor, surrounded by some old funny books - almost feel like a kid again.

I've seen it described as an "Asgardian" prototype. 

I wonder if they considered substituting old Mayan/Aztec gods.

I've never seen that but can easily understand why it might be. Some people got pretty carried away with the whole "prototype" business! That Strange Tales issue (76? maybe) that they're calling a Human Torch prototype!!! Really? Someone go back to 1939 and tell Carl Burgos! lol

CRUD!!! Sorry to see that happened. This may sound weird, but if you still have the piece of tape, maybe you can trim the tape to it smallest size but still contain the lifted part and just lay it back in place? I'm not sure which would be preferable but it's a thought. (shrug)
