Manic 1965 Letters Columns #4--Don't Try Bluffing Stan, Or He'll Cut You!

Efforts to make yourself look important could backfire on you, as we see in this letter from Avengers #22 (1965):

Wow. "I have read over 200,000 comics in my life"? He's a "fairly important comic critic"?!? "This is not a threat but just based on the facts"?

You just want to slap him, don't you?

Ah, but don't go trying to boost your rep in front of Stan. He don't put up with no fools:

"You're fibbing--otherwise how are you?"

Check and mate.
