Yes, that was the question every few weeks in the late 1980s, as readers gasped to learn if the new issue of Amazing Heroes might contain a missive from the legendary Sidney Mellon!
Mellon was a constructed stereotypical fanboy (I infer) used to make fun of (and celebrate) some of the thud and blunder of comics fandom. His missives might appear in the letters section. Or a review, filled with hyperbolic prose worshiping the most grandiose excesses of (unknowing) self-importance, might tag the "new comics" section.
See you Monday!
