"At the top of our hectic heap sits the king-of-the-hill, Merry Marty Goodman, publisher, and peerless purveyor of profound policy, pulsating plaudits, and palpable pay-checks!
When he speaks, we listen! When he frowns, we tremble! When he smiles, we know that somewhere one of you had bought another Marvel mag!"
