Question for Comic Book Folk
Do you bag *only your single issue / floppies* or do you bag trade paperbacks or digests?
I've bagged a few trades (original sealed ones of things like A Killing Joke) but generally I haven't. They go 'commando' on my shelves.

DFS was a big Madison Avenue ad agency. They bought Gamma animation in Mexico City, and made a lot of 60s cartoons (Rocky and Bulwinkle, etc)
The agency also created The Duracell Bunny in 1973, and McGruff the Crime Dog in 1979
(and the Wendy's Where's the Beef ad)

This is the 2001 first appearance of Elsa Bloodstone

🔥🔥🔥🔥
FACT: The Man-Thing MCU special introduced Elsa but crickets ever since. Also, here she's blonde and doesn't become a fierce redhead until Nextwave: Agents of Hate.
Still, not an easy find.

In the Jonny Quest episode, Pursuit of the Po-Ho (1964), Team Quest rescues "Emil Hartman" from dangerous natives, the Po-Ho.
Hartman looks like a dead ringer for Michael Rockefeller, who disappeared in 1961 in Dutch New Guinea, and may have been a victim of the natives.
