    If I had thought of it first, you still would have posted it before me. But a perfect cover.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    Ravin' Ray for one of the top biggest Marvel questions of the 1980s (superceded by the Hobgoblin question).

    Actually "kidnaped" is correct too, it's the American-English spelling....the more familiar "kidnapped" is the British-English spelling and has become more the widely used/seen way of spelling this word.

    I first realized this back in, I think, the '90s; I remember seeing the Daily News or the Post with the headline "Kidnaped!" It looked so strange and wrong to me, so of course I then looked it up, sure it was a mistake (I'm in the US). I then read that it was the American way of spelling that word.

    Np!

    I think the more familiar spelling of "kidnapped" became more widespread and popular due to Stevenson's great novel.

    The question has been asked, and many answers given. Which proved the most popular?

    1 answer: Ajax_X, Conn Seanery, PaulBullion, Ravin' Ray, Riv86672, and Stony
    2 answers: CaptCleghorn and kjn
    3 answers: seismic-2 and WestPhillyPunisher
    4 answers: Kirby101

    And with a commanding lead, with 8 answers, we find Nschornhorst Congratulations to a fitting victory, since he asked the most questions on his cover!

    Thank you for all the fantastic votes! It's one of my favorite covers. Love that Bart! I just wish Riddler looked a bit more recognizable in it.

    New contest is up!

    On the topic of what-might-have-been, I'm sort of kicking myself afterwards for not posting this great Pérez cover:
