The "Angry Girlfriend Variant" Amazing-Spiderman #14 controversy (my side)18980

I remember her posting her side of the story and requesting that the forum moderators remove the thread. I believe the entire thread was deleted and I was hoping that was the last I ever heard about this book but it keeps popping up from time to time.

Edit: Looks like it wasn't deleted only locked:

Anyway...she says hi.

True. Believe me, I am far from proud of all of this. All I'm doing is responding to address untruths. The thing I AM proud of in terms of my involvement with the Marvel Comic Book Community is unofficially creating the character of Madcap back in 1984 when I mailed Marvel HQ in NYC full color artwork I drew with a character synopsis which Mark Gruenwald claimed as his own. That's Boris the Bear in your icon. Have not thought about that character in decades. Back in 1986 when I was 15 I bought 12 copies of issue #1 of that book (which I still own) when it was brand new and "hot." Everyone back then thought it would be a big independent book like the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

Likely this thread is either part of a publicity plan or a response to one. Either way it doesn’t bother me, it’s not like this forum is currently overburdened with “must read” material. If the thread is legit, I say it’s well past time to lighten up.

Alternatively, buy the book. Sure, you may pay a ransom for it now but at least you’re hedged.

You are partially correct. If you do some basic research like a simple Google search, you'll learn who has the book. The same person has held the ruined book since 1993 after I sold it in 1990. He started the Cartersville Comic Book Convention in Cartersville, GA. Not naming names.

There is some truth in that, though I understand why you feel the need to defend yourself against a lie (I can't imagine anyone here feeling otherwise If it were them).
All liars hope that if they tell the lie enough times, it becomes true, and this is made easier when the lie is never called out.
Tough spot to be in,
