<nods> Okay then.

Just let me lock Anal-Retentive-Archive Kid in a broom cupboard
so that he doesn't radiate dangerous levels of Smug about having
picked up on that continuity nitpick, and I will make this observation:

Normally that particular oversight wouldn't be particularly
important, and in a fundamental practical sense I suppose it
still isn't.  After all, at the last moment the story in _Coherent
Super Stories_ #4 veers off into an alternate reality (albeit much
to my surprise; afterwards I kept wondering if it should have
been an issue of _Stranger Tales_).  But since the Sourcebook
is appearing as a companion to a story arc that is mining past
continuity across several decades of stories and various old RPG
games, it creates a bit of cognitive dissonance for me.
