Trevor Smith: If it makes you feel any better, Ted, I think that was a
fairly common picture of the Bullpen in many young readers

That does make me feel better, Trevor. Thanks!

When I first visited Marvel, in ‘71, I was shocked to find the whole office was maybe 500 square feet!

It was John Buy-urn for I don't know how long for me. The comedian John Byner didn't help any with that either.

I guess it could have been worse. My mother’s family name was HULME (Welsh). When her father was a POW in the Great War, the Germans insisted on pronouncing it HULL-ME.

Any confusion I had about the pronunciation of "Sub-Mariner" was cleared up for me by JB, when he had Headhunter meet Namor for the first time.
