The cover story of Strange Adventures #60… circa 1955
begins with a splash page where Napoleon Bonaparte looks on at a street parade in Christopher Columbus’s honor and thinks…
“So Columbus thinks he’s more popular here in the twentieth century than I — Napoleon Bonaparte! Well, I’m going to prove he’s wrong!”
Indeed. Columbus was more popular in the twentieth century than Napoleon. Now in the twenty-first century — it’s maybe a coin toss.
