The greatest horror, of course, is that any movie adaptation would perforce include all the changes shoveled in since my day.

Maybe? I think the MCU studio plan is to lean in to the generally-agreed-upon fan favorite version of any teams (which seems to lean pretty heavily on the Gen X window of 1979-1986). They could no doubt find eight ways to Sunday to screw it up going from there, but I have little fear that the whole Puck demon soul sword thing would be used, for example.

I could see them shorting the Mac Guardian in favor of getting to Heather, but the whole widow taking up the mantle thing feels like cinematic catnip.

I was not familiar with Puck's origin story, as I stopped reading the book when JB left. 

That is...not a good origin story.

Yeah, Puck's thing ultimately was - if not THE thing that caused me to drop the book, at least a big part of it. I honestly don't think I lasted more than through the handful of issues that Mignola pencilled, so what's that... six months into Mantlo's run?
