The Grand Comicbook Database’s indexes acknowledges that the TOMB OF DARKNESS reprint changed the story’s name from “I Made the Hulk Live” to “I created Grutan” (implicitly, the word “hulk” there was just a descriptive term, not the monster’s name) “so as not to confuse readers with the current (1975) Marvel character Hulk.” No mention of a character being renamed Pym, which would be a more significant–albeit less blatant–change, but admittedly there are no mention of character names at all, either, for this reprint or for the original. In fact, the original doesn’t even acknowledge the reprint.

[blockquote]“Plenty of current Marvel characters existed BEFORE the Fantastic Four made their debut in 1961. Patsy Walker, Fin Fang Four, Captain America, Namor, etc.”[/blockquote]

I assume you meant “…the Fantastic *Foom*…Fin Fang Four…” I really enjoyed those early Fantastic Foom issues. Remember when they fought that guy from the Simpsons – Hans Mole Man? Neat.

i wonder if rumored homophobe mike miller would’ve agreed to draw the comic if he’d known Triumph was gay?
