Okay, obviously I thought that was going to be a lot harder than it was. I tip my hat to, and refused to ever turn my back on, your collective scary-ass list-making abilities. I tossed the ones that didn't follow the same letter and kept the ones with fictional characters standing in for real people, since that's what comics is all about. -- Tom Spurgeon
