Remember those things called letter pages, that would appear at the end of the comic book? This was an attempt by the publisher to garner and include feedback of the various issues, interestingly both good and bad. In the ‘olden’ days, every comic book had them, and if you had an issue that did not include it, either that series was doomed, or the editor/assistant editor simply did not have time to do it. I, for one, loved the letters pages and sometimes you would see the same name quite often, and these individuals were called letter hacks.
They do exist in todays comics albeit sporadically. Marvel, for one, does include them quite often. DC, on the other hand, decided to remove them entirely. So I do wonder when something happens that you do not like, or perhaps really like, how do you let the publisher know? Well, if you did buy new comics you would know exactly what to do. If you are Curt, on the other hand, who has not bought anything new for quite a while, you resort to the old way.
