Publication History
The Thin Man made no further Golden Age appearances following his debut. He next appeared in 1970s comics in World War II flashback stories, beginning with Marvel Premiere #29 (April 1976). Through retroactive continuity, this story, by writer Roy Thomas and penciller Don Heck, posited the Thin Man as a founding member of the superhero team the Liberty Legion. The Thin Man appeared in that capacity in a story arc that also included The Invaders #6 (May 1976). He also appeared with the Liberty Legion in The Invaders #35-37 (Dec. 1978 - Feb. 1979); in the final two-thirds of a three-part story arc running through The Fantastic Four Annual #11, Marvel Two-in-One Annual #1 (both 1976), and Marvel Two-in-One #20 (Oct. 1976); and in issue #3 (June 1993) of the 1990s miniseries The Invaders. The Thin Man would go on to co-star in the series The New Invaders.

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
