This is it, the last issue of Who’s Who’s original run, and therefore of Who’s Editing’s (for a while)! Siskoid and guest Ynza Morganstar, the 108th Sage, dare imagine DC comics lines based on the heroes from this issue. Let’s get into that elevator one more time and pitch! And for those without a thesaurus… Weft: (in weaving) the crosswise threads on a loom over and under which other threads (the warp) are passed to make cloth.
