Excelsior!

Now, hold on, a moment, heroes! If you'll allow your Fearless Leader to tip his beanie to the ol' Distinguished Competition, no list of classy commenters is complete without a nod to the rarefied raconteur known as The Riddler! 'Nuff said!

Verily, the gargantuan GROOT is upon us! Can the ferocious FIN FANG FOOM be far behind? Run, mortals, for the Marvel Monsters are on the move!

He's not my favorite Hulk, but second place ain't bad! So sayeth Stan!

Back in the Bullpen, we always had an easy time coming up with dialogue for ol' B.B.! And some of our lazier letterers appreciated him too—'Nuff said!

Face front, fandom, because for Marvel's First Family, things will never be the same! Big changes are afoot with The World's Greatest Comics Magazine, if you catch my drift! New costumes!

Salutations, true believers! The day is finally upon us! I can finally announce the top-secret project I've been teasing for the past month! No, it's not a PETER-PORKER movie from PIXAR, you knuckleheads! (Say, that gives me an idea!) No, The Smilin' One is working on a colossal collaboration with the…

Don't remind me, heroes! Once, back in the Bullpen, I asked Genial Gerry Conway to go into the file closet and bring me everything we had on Kang The Conqueror— (Sufferin' Stan needed a refresher on the guy for a giant-size Fantastic Four annual I was portentously percolatin') Needless to say, he had to ask Big John…

Sorry true believers! I meant "…TO tell you"! Even Smilin' Stan is at the mercy of tyrannical typos! Who edits this flashy fal-der-al anyway? 'Nuff said!

Greetings, gang! Y'know, it's funny. It seems like nary a week can go by without another neat-o Newswire by Sean "The Don" O'Neal about the latest developments in the web-slinger's bodacious Broadway blockbuster! I have too tell, you, it's been keeping Stellar Stan on his toes! But after all, who says this isn't the…
