Just to add to Jerry Boyajian's excellent answer, with regard to the "Destroyer Lawyer" bit -- this refers to Steve Gerber's legal battle with Marvel Comics over the ownership rights to "Howard the Duck". Gerber and Jack Kirby brought out a comic called "Destroyer Duck" in which Henry W. Holmes, Jr. (Gerber's lawyer in his case) appeared in super-hero garb. Hope this clears up the small type for Michael Wahrman.
