By titles, do you mean issue numbers or story titles? I'm confused, because they are there in the pdfs we proofed, which means that if they are absent in the printed issue they somehow got cut after we finished proofchecking the issue, and at that stage there shouldn't be any amendments being made to the files. If something like that has happened, I'd want to get on it asap to prevent it reoccuring.

The former (the dates are present but the THOR#486 and JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY#503 parts are missing). So at least the only missing text can be deduced in context.

Obviously, this was my favourite bit. Although I'd like to highlight that only one of those corrections was mine.

How do you know all the credits like letters on the covers, page specific lettering, and and non signed cover art?

I feel the same way too. I love to see my name in print.

And on that point, here's an attempt to do it again. In Avengers Annual #20, in the entry for "The History of Subterranea", it references events involving Tyrannus in Davedevil Annual #4, 1976. Shouldn't it be the other Daredevil Annual #4, the one from 1989 and part of the Atlantis Attacks crossover?

Wait, so there were issues accidentally omitted?

No, nothing that bad, just a couple of issue captions (THOR#486 and JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY#503 ). The issues themselves are covered, they're just nameless. Maybe they were Bar with No Name variants
