Excelsior!

Didn't ya get the memo, true believer? the "real" Smilin' One and Skrull Stan are…

Never let it be said that Smilin' Stan isn't at the beck and call of our merry Marvel maniacs! Sadly though, true believer, I've got nothing to add to Oliver "Swell" Sawa's mirthful missive! Just remember that the best is yet to come from the ever-hallowed halls of the House of Ideas, because mighty Marvel is always

More's the pity, Erudite Eddie! Ol' Horn-head probably had you mistaken for the villainous ARCADE! 'Nuff said!

Sufferin' Stan here, O perplexing one! Allow me to needle your noodle with this inglorious inkling of inquiry! What'd it take to lure you away from the Distinguished Competition? Things are always going gangbusters with our carnival of costumed cavorters in the merry Marvel mags! What say, Estimable Edward? Why not

Ol' C.M. is the Smilin One's favorite furry blue monster this side of HANK McCOY! See you at the cinema Cookie! (And the macaroons are on me! 'Nuff said!)

Excelsior!

Greetings gang! If there's anything that a dyed-in-the-wool Marvelite loves more than anything, it's seeing his or her favorite heroes graciously guest-star in each other's comic mags! Whether SPIDEY drops by the Baxter Building to pull a prank on JOHNNY STORM or PROFESSOR X consults with DOCTOR STRANGE

Just to clear up any clear up any calamitous confusion, true believer, Skrull Stan and your fearless leader are one and the same! I revealed myself to the cavorting commenters of the A.V. Club to be a Skrull spy last April—but wouldn't you know it, the post was unceremoniously deleted that very day!

You'll have to hold your breath for now, heroes! Smilin' Stan is feverishly forging a top-secret new project and hasn't the time to peerlessly pontificate on all matters Marvel just this moment! So I'll have to merely leave you with…

Excelsior!

It ain't so bad, "Lustrous" Lux Lisbon! At least now Marveldom's favorite costumed Canuck is safe from the pernicious perils of online piracy!  Say, that reminds me, I better remind "Two-Fisted" Tom DeFalco to send another box of Cohibas down to our ever-loving legal department! Without those bravely be-wigged

It's a funny story, true believer—the House of M struck a deal with ever-lovin' LORNE MICHAELS for Yours Truly to actually host Saturday Night Live the week that mag hit the stands! But as luck would have it, the Smilin' One got bumped at the last minute by Boffo BUCK HENRY. Hey Buck! let someone else have a turn,
