Sock It To Shellhead

Those of us with long memories (and long boxes of 20th century comics) will recall that the Letter's Page on many an issue of Iron Man, through the 1970s, was titled "Sock It To Shellhead." That certainly wasn't the worst such destination to have to write on your envelope back in those days, though, as a few of these other examples would attest to:

"Send It To Subby" (Sub-Mariner)
"Letters To Lois" (Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane)
"Mail It To Mar-Vell" (Captain Marvel)
"Who Speaks For The Surfer?" (Silver Surfer)
"Let's Chat With The Challs" (Challengers of the Unknown)
"Let's Level With Daredevil" (Daredevil)

and possibly the most embarrassing of them all:

"Let's Rap With Cap" (Captain America)

What can I say? Seeing that great Iron Man movie over the weekend has made me downright nostalgic...
