"Now, John, I come to your mistake on page 14. You drew Victor Frankenstein as a white-haired old man (the mad scientist type) but in the book, a ship found Frankenstein at the North Pole. Would an old man be able to survive the cold up there? Even the movie industry knew this when they had Colin Clive play the good doctor."

"Dear Editor: I'm one of those contented readers you hear about who rarely write in, but ACTION #449 made me angry! I am surprised you are even keeping Mr. Maggin on the payroll after that bomb (if you are)! Even the cover reminded me of an era when you gave Batman a different gadget in the batmobile every week."

"Dear Editor: I agree with Betty James when she asks for a little affection among the members of the TITANS. I don't think she meant a love story, nor do I think she's hung up on romance. I can understand how she feels. The TITANS may joke around with each other, but where are their emotions? Let me cite another famous crimefighting group, The Mod Squad of TV. They perform their duties, yes, but one gets to understand how they feel towards one another. And a relationship that the TITANS share cannot be complete if the emotional aspect is not exposed." Emotions? Eyuu.

"This is in reply to your response to my letter to you, which you printed in ARAK #6. So pay attention, children. I would no more expect anything you write to be 'actual history' than I would expect Homer's account of the Trojan War to be actual history. The thing that gets me is that you think you have to be virtuous about your liberties and scrupulously place your stories in a parallel world. No one else in the many centuries in which stories such as this have been written has gone to so much trouble. Why do you have to be different?"

"The writing is very good and humerous. The art was also grand. I especially like the facial expressions. The lettering and coloring were also good. Just an oustanding job.  Final words: I hope you guys have good luck, but I don't really think you need it. If this book was a sitcom, it would be in the top ten, maybe besting THE COSBY SHOW. I can predict big things for 'MAZING MAN."

"Dear Joe: The aim of this letter is to get "Gunner, Sarge and Pooch" back! They were great! To get rid of one of your best characters was absolutely ridiculous. And bring Johnny Cloud back too. How about putting out a World War I mag--about doughboys instate of biplanes and triplanes? And instead of a "Haunted Tank"--how about a haunted ship--or a Bomber? Signed, "A LONGTIME FAN--[name redacted] Dear [redacted], Your letter is an example of many similar ones we've received. Our purpose is to suppy whatever our readers demand! But--there must be a justified demand...in the form of numbers. If enough of you out there express your demands--we'll supply! Signed, Editor."

"You asked for criticsm, but it's hard to give you any. This book is not perfec, but it is very good. I don't find it that hard to understand, it just requires a a little thinking and involvement. I know quite a few people who read a comic just by skimming the words and looking at the pictures. You can't do that with THRILLER. You have to read the words."

"Dear Editor, I think the Legion of Super-Heros should be in the movies. If they do, here's who I think should play some of the roles: Cosmic Boy--Fabian; Saturn Girl--Diane McBain; Sun Boy--Tucker Smith; Bouncing Boy--Tommy Kirk; Mon-El--Rick Nelson; Supergirl--Tuesday Weld; Pete Ross--Troy Donahue."

"Now about this 'Jonah Hex--The Movie.' Clint Eastwood would never be identified as Jonah. He was, and is, and will always be 'the man with no name.' Doug McClure doesn't look or talk mean enough. Both are great actors but they don't fit. So here is the choice I would make--Kirk Douglas with Clint Walker as Scalphunter. I would also have Angie Dickinson as the school marm, as every western needs one."

"Dear. Mr. Wein, Don Heck is ice cream. He is enjoyable when the weather is warm but awful when it's cold. Frank Chiaramonte is ketchep; he works well with hamburger (Meant as a compliment to Curt Swan) and a few other meats, but doesn't go over well with a desert like Heck. I would prefer bananas (Vince Colletta), strawberries (Frank McLaughlin), chocolate topping (Dick Giordano), cherry syrup (Steve Mitchell) or blueberries (Bob Smith) on my ice cream. What about the rest of you fans. Anybody like ketchep on ice cream?"

#DamnLettersToTheEditor and the cover
"My main criticism was the cover, the worst ever to have appeared in THE ATOM. Nothing seemed to fit in and the hero of the moment seemed (perish the thought) uncoordinated. Gil Kane has always been noted for his graceful, streamlined poses, so the last thing I expect to see in a Kane-penciled mag is an awkward hero. Another thing: it appears that ATOM had bettter see an orthopedist, because he seems to be getting pigeon-toed in his old age." The Atom (Ray Palmer) is standing in the palm of the hand of a evil looking man who is literally shooting our her in the back with some kind of gun. The Atom is bent at the waist in pain, his right arm behind his back. The subhead reads, "Litttle man--you've had a BUSY day!"

“Dear DC: How about a story in which Alfred Pennyworth plays an important role? Alfred is comicdom‘s finest supporting character and possesses many useful talents that should be more frequently spotlighted. On top of his skills as a gentleman‘s gentleman, his ultra loyalty, and dedication to Batman’s cause, and his own devotion to the war on evil, Alfred must possess some unique traits that would fit into a case his master is working on. How about making use of it?“

From a 1980s Airboy letter column:
"Look at the Philippines: conservatives said if we didn't support Marcos, Communism would take over--and instead we have democracy under Aquino. In El Salvador, we forced democratic elections, getting rid of the leader who used death squads and terrorism. Conservatives supported the death squad. There is an alternative to facism, conservatives just have to start looking for it. It's called democracy and we don't have to sleep in the bed of dictators to get it. I have often felt that if conservatives ran the government during WWII instead of liberals, we would have sided with Adolph Hitler against Russia."

Wow. The Defector counterpart to #DamnLettersToTheEditor.

My vote is Frank Cannon‘s apartment in the 1970s detective classic show. “CANNON“.
Actor William Conrad from his long, running early to mid 1970s crime drama, “Cannon“. Here we see Conrad as Cannon lovingly, holding a loaf of French bread in his arms like a baby. He looks down upon it with something that looks subjectively like love or despair. In the background heading towards the door is actor Martin Sheen, as he turns around to look back at Cannon.
