Hello!

I picked this FF41 double-cover up off the boards this morning and am VERY curious to know if anybody here has any ideas about the custom MMMS name stamp that appears on the cover with the member's name, as appears here for "Willie"? (of the Willie Cosey variety; not the Willie Lumpkin variety)

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

 

Looks like Willie took his membership very seriously -- probably stamped all his comics. Hmmm, is there a "Willie Cosey" pedigree designation in the offing?

Willie appears multiple times in the MMMS lists published in those SA issues: Daredevil #37, Avengers #49, Marvel Super-Heroes #13, AND Thor #149!  Those issues all came out the same month, but that was three years after he stamped the comic you bought, FF #41.  Wonder if he ever knew he hit the quadruple whammy?

Oh wow - this is too cool!!! I have all of these books so I will now check out the letter section for exactly what you describe - this makes this book so much more special to me. Thank you so much for making this note!!

As I've said, I'm often discouraged by how many names I'm asked to look up that did NOT get published.  I've recently had a hit and a miss (sorry, Johnny Cat), so we're now at about 1 hit for every 3 requests since I finished this and posted it nearly three years ago.  :sorry:

Happy to check these things out, and to bump the thread!

I recall seeing this MMMS member's name all the time in the comics, but not in the roster lists.

I think his name was printed repeatedly in something called "Tales of Suspense".  Maybe he had a deluxe membership.
