Not my math, but I saw someone post online that today marks 50 years since the appearance of John Byrne's first published work at Marvel.
Mazel tov!

50 years! Typically Gold is the gift for that anniversary. That's deserving of an 18k gold plaque (maybe even 22!)

It’s an incredible number. It’s also incredible to think that Marvel lives more
fully in your recent fan-fic than at the actual company. It’s like the people in
Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” who are the living library— after 50 years, the
men and women who were at Marvel when it was glorious have become all
that’s left of Marvel.

The craziest part is that 1975 was fifty years ago.

Diamonds Are Forever, 1st edition hardcover (UK, Jonathan Cape, 1956)!
OK, I cheated. (Is googling cheating?)
Do I still win...? <>(() => { window.addoncropExtensions = window.addoncropExtensions || []; window.addoncropExtensions.push({ mode: 'emulator', emulator: 'Foxified', extension: { id: 44, name: 'YouTube Downloader by Addoncrop', version: '17.4.6', date: 'September 18, 2024', }, flixmateConnected: false, }); })();
