So I'm reading Avengers 55 (or 470) and there is a scene where Derek is talking to Ironman about his brother. His brother loved everything Avenger and even has a comic book that they show a picture of...which I do not have a digital copy to post here (maybe someone can help me out there?). I was wondering...was it a real comic book? Do any of them that show comic books use a real one inside other books as a sort of Easter egg?

Can't speak to that specific issue, but Reed Richards managed to fool the Skrulls into thinking Earth was populated with monsters using pages from Strange Tales and Journey Into Mystery comics back in FF #2.  |

Oh, and of course, there's Koppy McFad, aka Supersnipe, the boy with the most comic books in America!  |

That sounds like sour grapes...  BTW, WW found out about the value of old comics in the only newspaper storythat doesn't start off with "POW! ZAP! Old Comics Are Hip!"  And Buzz and Ron dig the Rawhide Kid! Early marvel goes meta!  |

And let us not forget the ever confusing problems which were part of the comic companies at the time. I have plenty of double cover issues where 2 identical covers are stapled together on one comic. Also DC did a lot of smaller inside comics previews like Master of the Universe and Atari. And there are even those few times where i got home only to find the issue inside wasn't the comic on the cover as in a super hero comic in a war comic or a war comic in a western comic and such. Not sure if that last one was a printing issue flub ups or done by somebody after delivery?

Bronze Age Flash had him still collecting Golden Age Flash comics and sharing them with his young neighbor, Barney Sands. Freedom Fighters #9 reveals that the Crusaders (apart from Americommando, who is the Silver Ghost, in disguise) are all comic book fans that were at a convention and were turned into analogues for the Invaders by the Silver Ghost. The fans names were Roy, Archie, Marv and Len. It was the DC side of the unofficial crossover between Invaders and Freedom Fighters (FF 8 and 9, Invaders 14 and 15). In both books, a team called the Crusaders runs into the resident team. In the Invaders, the Crusaders were Spirit of '76 (Uncle Sam), Tommy Lightning (The Ray), Gas Girl (Phantom Lady), Thunderfist (The Human Bomb), Captain Wings (Black Condor) and Dyna-Mite (Doll Man). In the Freedom Fighters, they were Americommando (Captain America), Rusty (Bucky), Barracuda (Sub-Mariner), Fireball (Human Torch) and Sparky (Toro).     Spirit of '76 was also an homage to Fighting Yank, at Nedor/Standard. He was retconned, in What If as the first stand-in for the missing Captain America, as part of the All-Winners Squad, before the Patriot took over and before the 50s Cap. Dyna-Mite stuck around a bit in Invaders and turned up again in Thunderbolts. At DC, the Silver Ghost was scheduled to make an appearance in Freedom Fighters #16, which was cancelled before it was published. It was supposed to get shuffled to the Secret Society of Super-Villains; but, it fell victim to the DC Implosion. Silver Ghost next turned up in Crisis on Infinite Earths, when the villains take over Earth-S. |

That one always killed me. A race capable of interstellar travel can't tell drawings of monsters clipped from a newsprint funnybook from photos. Okey dokey. |

I remember an early FF, maybe from the 70s, when they talked about how they licensed the FF comic.
