Okay, I get THAT clue. Maybe in the morning, when I feel more human.

Deadman?
Sandman?

I tried Deadman, could find nothing that fits. Sandman doesn't fit the clues.

What if it's something-WOMAN? Doesn't help me any, but since the preceding letter could be D, O, or U it might be something to consider.

I'm wondering if it's Doctor Doom, but I'm not enough of a Marvel guy to know everywhere he appeared in the 1970s. I've eliminated Supervillain Team-Up and Astonishing Tales, but that's it.

Another hint: the collected edition, volume 1 of which features (on the cover) the art from which this logo was drawn (although this logo was removed from the collected edition) is focused on the work of a specific creator, whose name is in the title of the collection. I just thought I'd mention that today.

Well, there are few artists that got a 3 volume hardcover collection. I looked at the Neal Adams Batman books, but they didn't work. Besides Batman doesn't fit the clues so far. There is Kirby, but the Kirby collections don't fit either. I was hoping I could get this, but I am striking out. So here is what we know. The color is significant. The cover art (though not the logo) was used for the first volume of a three volume hardcover set highlighting one artist and the character. The character has been around for decades and is the favorite (or at least the series) of a couple of our members. The logo the M is from was used just once.

If I ever said something to confirm that, I apologize. It should be a lot easier with the correct letter. Oh, wait, I see what you misinterpreted--that hint wasn't about the letter immediately preceding the M...think again...and look at the color... Also, there's another clue in my immediately previous post.

How could I get that idea? But okay, yellow letters and think about what precedes the M.
That leaves me with O or D for the previous letter. But also see a serif after the M, so it is not the last letter in the word. That leaves words like DOOM out.
Is the M even in the characters name? Or is it more like "LIVING" in our two logos? If it is that gives us a character with DM or OM in the name who got a 3 volume hard cover set for just one artist. And the original book was from the 70s, with this logo used once.

I should have used "correct", and the color is below the comment that you quoted.

I give up. I've been through every single month from Jan 1970 to Dec 1979, and I got nuthin'... even with all the cryptic clues.
