    Actually, the plural of octopus — in its original Greek, at least — is octopodes.

    Yup. Pronounced "ok-to-puh-deez", not "ok-tuh-pohdz".

    Great Ten of a Kind though, Bully... I'm surprised you didn't make it Eight — or perhaps Tentacle? — of a Kind. Choice hover-text. And I just love that issue of Famous Funnies assuring us, in a box much smaller than the giant red logo, that this is a Famous Funnies publication.

    Thanks, Joe! Wow, I had a lot of covers left over that I didn't use for this theme, but I hadn't spotted any of those! Thanks so much!
