It was #116, in which Sabretooth fought against the Black Cat, and later Spider-Man. He was basically acting as a sort of freelance assassin at the time.

It was also shortly after Spider-Man had Dr. Strange remove the "curse" on him, only to discover it was actually a side-effect of the Black Cat's bad luck power... and that by "uncursing" Peter, Strange also cancelled out the Black Cat's powers. So she was powerless for the first time in a while, forced to fight against a psychotic killer, and became incredibly pissed at Peter for basically making her lose her powers.

My memory must be going......

Yeah, that's why. You should be a psychologist.

When I was writing the piece, I searched my "records" (quotations because they're not exactly the most elaborate of records), and I couldn't find for the life of me who told me about the Wizard/Shield thing, so I convinced myself that I guess I just saw it somewhere.

But I thought someone told me, so it very well could have been you! I'll go give you credit.

In the early 1990's, a long storyline ran which attempted to tell further the origin of Conan. The framing sequence had him addressing his son Conn with tales of his youth. Sadly, it flatly contradicted established continuity about Conan's family from Savage Sword of Conan#119 and elsewhere.

Using the pseudonym Justin Arthur (pace Shining Knight), Thomas wrote an issue showing that, after talking to Conn, he admitted to spouse Zenobia that he fibbed.

Thomas admitted the pseudonym in an issue of Conan Saga.

I've got a good one for you, and it's a myth that I've helped spead, but now I know the full truth about Alan Weiss and THAT 'lost' issue of Warlock that was supposedly left in the back seat of a taxi...

And I credited you for it, a few weeks ago! That was a great find by you!

You're looking for myths, by gum I've got a pile of them on the boil. After all this time I know more than I should, and all of it will come out.

Have you mentioned my favourite myth that I proved to be true? That Neal Adams did indeed do some penciling on the first Superman vs The Amazing Spider-Man book?

1) I heard Chris Claremont was removed from the X-Men because Bob Harris wanted to give the book to a friend of his (Scott Lobdell I think)?

2)Jack Kirby left DC because he thought they lied to him about the sales of his New Gods titles in order to pay him less money?

Okay, nevermind - I just checked my spellcheck and there it was. Yeesh. Still, what happened? Did they just think Todd Dezago and Brian K. Vaughn were adding some new backstory to the character?

Well, to be fair, that's not a very typical term that everyone is familiar with. I had never heard the term before the controversy....but then again, I was only around 18-19 at the time, I think.

Incidentally, if I remember right, word got out after the book had already shipped to Diamond, so issues had gotten in the hands of stores before a recall was issued. All copies were supposed to be returned, and a "corrected" edition was printed, but plenty of unscrupulous retailers sold them anyway....at a higher price for the "Rarity", too....

A wart. Riiight.
