Why don't you drop whatever you're doing...c'mon, that Ming vase isn't that important right now!...and take my totally mind-baffling brain-twisting cheese-and-onion-flavored Comic Book Header Quiz. If you can name all 18, I will pat you firmly on the back and tell you you should get out more. If'n you wanna play, list your guesses in the comments (don't look at anyone else's), and I'll give you the answers tomorrow. (Don't lose any sleep about it or nothin', tho'.) And just because I like you guys and I am a very pleasant and polite little stuffed bull, I'll start the list out with some easy ones. Good luck, and remember...this is a quiz, not a race! No putting potatoes in each other's tailpipes. I saw that, Dick Dastardly!

Go the the Head of the Class
Hey, how well do you know your comic books? (They're those floppy things with colored pictures in them.) You may know what title Ant-Man debuted in (Tiny Heroes Monthly #39) or how much the Hulk beat the Thing (in the 1st round 6–1, 6–4; in straight sets in the second round), or why Superman wears wore a yellow belt (to keep his blue pants up). You may even know Iron Man's favorite brand of breakfast cereal (Kellogg's Whiskey-Pops)! But...and this is the important question here...how well do you know your comic book headers? Y'know, those taglines at the top of a comic cover that give you a hint or clue what the title is about, or maybe some outright hucksterism (World's Finest, my fuzzy butt!).

Do you have 'em all? Did you get that one, you know, the tricky one? Good! Tune in tomorrow night for the answers, and if you're not careful, we may just learn something!
