## Resource

Rummaging though a stack of mid-'70s memos has me remembering the time I attempted to convince Stan Lee to adapt Joseph Heller's novel Something Happened , who was responsible for mutilating the contents of Marvel's 1975 line of Giant-Size Annuals , how I repurposed a Winnie Winkle comic strip to resign from my staff job in the Bullpen, the day comic book fans ran a Baskin-Robbins out of ice cream, the meeting in which Stan Lee had a problem with Iron Man's nose, Gerry Conway's complaint to the Comics Code Authority about an Inhumans innuendo, and much more.
