And I note that Paul Levitz continues the long tradition of the Pros missing questions based on material that they wrote...<BR/><BR/>The Irregulars narrowed the Pros' lead to 6-5 overall since the series started in 1995.

The final line-up for the Pros was Len Wein, Paul Levitz, Kurt Busiek and Elliot S! Maggin. Considering that Maggin is my absolute favourite Superman writer of all time, Tom was half-jokingly saying he'd take me off the team in case I was too freaked out to go up against Maggin. <BR/><BR/>I did manage to get a couple of answers in, which made me happy.Terence Chuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245769772109010000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18787738.post-25244340033260732232007-07-30T08:12:00.000-05:002007-07-30T08:12:00.000-05:00Yay!
