Disclose Notes: Dedicated to Steve Ditko. This is a spoof, somewhat serious, on the Marvel editorial policy of the day with visual and textual references to Stan Lee, John Romita, Len Wein, Marv Wolfman and Roy Thomas. It also contains a couple of Starlin's "dirty jokes." Storyline is continued in Warlock #9.
