The story has been reprinted in the previous year's Marvel Annual, with the original Nixon image, and I do recall noticing the edit at the time. I just looked at the issue online and the ad for next week's CB story was "Panic in Piccadilly!" Sounds like the title of a Morrissey song.<br /><br />DW Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-61909700629155038052017-04-28T00:42:35.293+01:002017-04-28T00:42:35.293+01:00This was the Captain Britain issue that featured t...This was the Captain Britain issue that featured the FF story where Richard Nixon was redrawn as Jimmy Carter.

Or if he got stopped for speeding and had to go on a driving refresher course. I can just see him, sat there, arms folded, watching videos about the dangers of not obeying the speed limit.<br /><br />Dougie, it's all very strange. As far as I can make out, from Googling it, he seems to be called Kronak but uses the pseudonym, "Kronan." Why a barbarian would uses a pseudonym that's virtually identical to his own name, I have no idea. He was clearly a very confused individual.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-59420950615254319452017-04-27T21:14:22.066+01:002017-04-27T21:14:22.066+01:00The Spider-Mobile and Superman's Supermobile w...The Spider-Mobile and Superman's Supermobile were both presumably created for the toy companies' tie-ins. <br /><br />I suppose Peter Parker and Bruce Wayne had valid driver's licenses in their civilian identities, but I don't see how they could register or insure their superhero vehicles. Filling out the <br />forms as "Batman" or "Spider-Man" would require giving false information on official documents, and using their real names would reveal their secret identities.
