   Phill, I wasn’t aware that this was an edited version of a picture taken from Alan Light’s photosets. This photo was sent to me by a reader who was likely equally uninformed. Thanks for letting me know; I’ll rectify the error.

    “The” time?

    I’m pretty sure that’s what he wore to the Marvel offices.

    This picture makes me think he should have been Bob Guccione rather than Hef in “Iron Man.”
