I own a first printing of Squadron Supreme. And I don't consider that yucky. KISS blood, yeah, that's gross. I want to be encased in concrete, with a radioactive cesium marker, and buried in a sanitary landfill. On the block will be an iconic map marking other sanitary landfills across North America.
