Question about TheForce.net's founders
CooperTFN, I was wondering if you could let us know the name of the founder(s) of the TheForce.Net; it would be nice to acknowledge them on the TheForce.Net article, and also give the founder his/her own article in Category:Webmasters. Cheers. --Azizlight 22:56, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- I know it started out at Texas A&M University's official Star Wars page and was founded by Scott Chitwood and one other guy. Eventually Josh Griffin came on as a partial owner, and most recently Official Pix's Philip Wise bought Scott out and now co-owns the whole shebang with Josh. I'll dig a little and see if I can jog my memory who the other original guy was. CooperTFN 22:59, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Awesome, thanks a bunch :-) --Azizlight 23:01, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
UNJOH content
Hey CooperTFN. Have you considered releasing the content on Unofficial New Jedi Order Homepage to Wookieepedia? Our coverage of the events, characters and developments of the NJO series is spotty at best, and Wookieepedia would certainly benefit from the inclusion of your material. --SparqMan 01:52, 29 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- The only stuff that would really work for here is from the Yuuzhan Vong Database, and it was all written by Nick Hess. Even though he's not exactly reachable anymore, I'm not sure I would feel right turning it over to others on my own. Anything I did write (i.e. the rest of the site) Wookieepedia's welcome to, but I don't know how much use it would be. A better bet might be the people who work on the NJO Encyclopedia; that site is done by a lot of different people and the content is way more in line with what you'd need. CooperTFN 01:59, 29 Nov 2005 (UTC)
I've got both ZIPs. --SparqMan 04:38, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- I appreciate Mike's reluctance to release that content without my permission during my three-year absence, however, now that I'm back, I'm turning it over to the fan community to finish. It's in y'all's court now. --Nick Hess 23:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Re: Code Q
You should just be able to past the image URL (with no brackets). What's the URL of the image you're trying to display and where do you want it to go? I can take a stab at it for you. --SparqMan 16:15, 29 Nov 2005 (UTC)
Testing...

Hey, look at that. The brackets were what got me. Thanks! CooperTFN 23:14, 29 Nov 2005 (UTC)
Re: Concerned about user
I'll add that guy to the growing list of people I keep an eye on, but since I'm not an admin, I can't do much. My only involvement in the "Dark Falls" nonsense is as an interested voter in the VfD. I think SparqMan seems to be the admin most involved in that mess. —Darth Culator (talk) 17:35, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
Dogs
I noticed your post about Lando's dog on the Jedi Council Forums. Could you please add that reference? Thanks. — Silly Dan 04:25, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- What, to Lando's page? I will if you want, but do you really think it's necessary? It's basically just a throwaway line in one of the old Lando trilogy books (not even sure which one), meant as a joking reference to another line in the original ANH novelization. When the Falcon is blasting its way out of Mos Eisley, the book says something like "oddly enough, Luke found himself thinking about a dog he once had." The Lando version is the same, except adding "It was run over by a speeder." CooperTFN 04:48, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Actually, I'm pretty sure he meant to the page about dogs. ;-) jSarek 04:58, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- ...oh. CooperTFN 04:59, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks! — Silly Dan 15:36, 3 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the plug on TFN
Just wanted to thank you for writing the article about Wookieepedia on TheForce.net. Thanks! --Azizlight 05:19, 5 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Glad to do it. I may try to do more later. CooperTFN 05:21, 5 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Yes that was a great example of getting the word out about our wiki. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:28, 5 Dec 2005 (UTC)
Gorm
Just wanted to say great job on the Gorm article. It's kinda funny, but I had gone there and was going to do a major rewrite on it, too. But thankfully, you'd given the {{inuse}} warning so I didn't. Good thing, too, cuz you did a much better job than I would have. Go you! WhiteBoy 23:24, 9 Dec 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. =) I'm gonna try and do one big thing like that a month; the trick is to find stuff with enough sources to be interesting, but few enough to be manageable. I'm aiming for Booster Terrik next, but I don't want to {{inuse}} it just yet, since it might be a couple weeks. CooperTFN 05:24, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)
Years and the Castle
Did you google "10188 ASW4" to see proof? That would put Aziz's birth year at 10194 ASW4 (otherwise known as ABY).
And so you know, the site you staff, TFN, had a "TimeTales" that went all the way to 10,191 ASW4 (1977 AD). That's where it originated. (Why is it gone btw?) It's been undergoing maintenance. For a very long time. - Cooper
Also, why don't you refute what I said on the edit summary of "List of Fanon Creations"? --68.102.193.78 08:12, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- It's considered very poor ettiquette to alter someone's user page. Secondly, "Timetales" is a fan concoction, and hence not canonical. Secondly, if you persist with this nonsense you will be banned. QuentinGeorge 09:30, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Um, possibly because I hadn't seen it yet. I don't monitor this site all day. Nice editing of other people's comments, by the way.CooperTFN 08:01, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Umm, if TimeTales is Fanon, then why was it accepted by TFN? And does anyone have any idea how long ago an -official- source says the Battle of Yavin took place? --68.102.193.78 13:47, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- It's hosted by TFN because TFN is a fansite. QuentinGeorge 21:17, 5 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- Wow; I missed a whole little conversation here. "Umm, if TimeTales is Fanon, then why was it accepted by TFN?" That is about the funniest thing I've ever seen. No wonder people hate us. CooperTFN 08:01, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)
TFN and the homosexual controversy
Here's a few links for you [1] [2] [3]
Is that enough to call "controversy?" Thanos6 22:18, 7 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- I honestly have no 100% idea if the site's fanfic is "no-gay", but from what I've read, I certainly get the impression that none is allowed, period. And sure, if you want to write it up, go ahead, you can keep a cooler head about it than me. :) Thanos6 01:10, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Darth Maul
I think that Darth Maul never should have died in Episode 1 and he should have been given a deeper personality. I'm not a fan of his brutal killing machine style. It's just not realistic for a sith. He has to be cunning and see the big picture. If he was like that he could easily have run the seperatists. I wanted him to make it to episode 3. In Episode 1 he flees after a stalemate, in Episode 2 he tempts Obi Wan and Anakin with revenge (for Qui Gon's death) and in Episode 3 he sacrafices himself to Anakin when he realizes Anakin is more powerful. He does this to lure Anakin to the darkside for the good of the sith and because of his devotion to Palpatine. My little fanfic prequel story. It has potential :).--DannyBoy7783 05:46, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- You made my whole point in your first two sentences. =) Yeah, if he'd had a deeper personality he could've been more useful, but he didn't. He was raised to be a brutal killer because that was all he needed. I honestly don't think Sidious could have raised Maul, or anyone really, to do what Dooku did. He had to have that natural charisma, and his whole noble ex-Jedi public image. Maul was cool for what he was, but Dooku is bound to be the more interesting character. CooperTFN 05:50, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
Rise of the Dark Falls
Considering the new events that developed on tf.n regarding the existence of this book, should the article be remade? I know the book wasn't really published by Lucasfilm, but it's possible someone did manage to publish a Star Wars book on their own that got recalled for violating copyright laws after one publishing. Considering how much of an oddity that would be and how much controversy it's caused, isn't it worth an out-of-universe article? --199.79.168.160 20:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- If I was certain that was the real cover, I'd say yes, but it would take more than one guy's say-so to convince me. CooperTFN 22:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Question
I noticed that you opposed my nomination for WotM. I'd like to ask you for some advice on how I can improve. If you could, please respond on my Talk page. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
The mask of Grievous
- "Even the droid's armorplast mask was stripped from its skull and sold on the Invisible Market, supposedly purchased by a high-ranking Imperial admiral as a Kaleesh work of art."
- ―Lord of War by Abel G. Pena
I've heard this was based on fanart inspired by a theory of yours. Congrats! Care to give us any more details? :-) --Azizlight 23:51, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks! There's a link on my user page to a forum thread page that lays out the progression of events; the original posts are at about page 6 of the thread. CooperTFN 05:46, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks :-) And sounds like you're the man who can help out with List of fanon elements in the EU. Cheers! --Azizlight 10:03, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- I fidgeted with the mask one a bit, but generally that looks pretty good. If I think of anything else worth adding I'll do so. CooperTFN 19:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks :-) And sounds like you're the man who can help out with List of fanon elements in the EU. Cheers! --Azizlight 10:03, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Image editing
Just out of curiosity...what is it/how do you manage to remove the text and some uneeded lines from images so quickly and efficiently? I'm generally too lazy to do it, but if there's an easier way than the one I've been using then I may just do it. Oh and I can use any piece of software, so feel free to tell me to "get" another. :) —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 14:26, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
- I use Photoshop; a magical little thing called "Levels". I believe it exists in other image editing software, but I'm always used PS so I couldn't tell you. Basically it's a way of adjusting the blacks, whites, and/or midtones of an image independently. I just erase the unnecessary black text by hand, then I use levels to get rid of all the lightest grays and make the darkest grays a little darker, which both clears out the stuff that shouldn't be there and makes what's left look sharper. As far as lines on top of the image, like the little schematic things on Gorm, that was all done manually, and it can be kind of tough, but I'm willing. Wait until you see the pics I just cleaned up for Booster. CooperTFN 18:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Wookieepedian of the Month
CooperTFN, I present you with this...erm...well we don't have any sort of proper award for it yet, but congratulations on becoming the 10th monthly (11th counting both QuentinGeorge and JustinGann) Wookieepedian of the Month for the month of March! --MarcK [talk] 05:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Congrats Cooper! You really deserved it. QuentinGeorge 05:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Bail...Retro Man?
thumb|right|I had it in my closet the whole time!. Thanks for the old Bail pic. Though I find it odd that around the Battle of Yavin he decided to slip into an outfit he last wore in 22 BBY. Perhaps he got nostalgic... QuentinGeorge 05:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- He'd just done laundry, and that was at the beginning of the rotation. For what it's worth The Princess Leia Diaries is around this time period and has him in other outfits. CooperTFN 07:25, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
1st Anniversary Media Release
Hi Cooper :-) I have began distributing our Media Release among Star Wars fansites. Needless to say, we'll leave the TFN relations to you :-) Thanks! --Azizlight 07:15, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- Just responded on the release's talk page, actually. =) CooperTFN 07:17, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks Cooper, we really appreciate all your assistance :-) Cheers!!! --Azizlight 07:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Appealing Concerns
That's a really thoughtful and nice thing you did with the "small appeal," and I'd like to thank you for that. I left a remark on your DCAU talk page if you want to check it out. Oh, and to stay on topic, Star Wars is um... nice, the chatroom is empty but the site has loads of information.--Tim Thomason 11:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Heh
- Ever had those cheese biscuits they serve at Red Lobster? Those things rule.
- Just what are you trying to accomplish here, Coop? :) QuentinGeorge 06:58, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- I love it. StarNeptune 06:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- Check the page's history. I started out making (relatively) relevant comments, which were asked for, and he kept deleting them. http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/16.gif CooperTFN 07:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Ailyn Vel
I am a true Boba Fett fan, and Ive actually read last one standing, and have read the one where he becomes the leader of the mandalorians. Maybe you are right, I don't know. But keep in mind that when Jango wanted a familly, he didn't want to get married, he decided to have a clone instead, and there is no reason why Boba should not do the same. Anyway's, I'm glad we agree on my main point, which is that Boba is cooler than Ailyn, who is still cool.Jangodaman 17:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Official Friends: TheForce.net
Hiya Coops :-) I figured it's time to start asking the nominated sites if they would like to be our Official Friends / affiliates. By default, correspondence with TFN falls to you :-) You mind asking them? Cheers and thanks! --Azizlight 04:23, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone would object, but I seriously doubt they'd put a link on the site beyond the one on the JCs. Is that enough? CooperTFN 04:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah we're not actually asking them to do anything. We just need to know if they would like to be known as an Official Friend of Wookieepedia. --Azizlight 05:07, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Respects
Hats off to you, sir, on the Booster article.JustinGann 22:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Pic
- Oh, don't worry, Cooper, I'd put a pic of my own up, but while I think I look most like A'Sharad Hett, I'm probably closer to Sedriss. Ack. :) QuentinGeorge 06:23, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oh crap, you escaped from the 1980s British punk scene too? Anyway, I think I looked a little more like Tycho when I first started using that avatar, like...5 or 6 years ago? Never gonna be that beefy, though. CooperTFN 06:26, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Image Man
Hey...as I've seen what you can do with images before (and I can't, I've tried and failed badly :P), I was wandering if it would be possible for you to edit 3 images for me so that I can nominate an article for Featured status? The images in question are File:Vuffi Raa.jpg (which needs the background removed, as well as possible the text with the arrow, but please leave the infobox in), File:VuffiRaa.jpg (which needs the background removed, as well as some text, but could you possibly leave in the descriptive text which points to places on him?), and finally File:Vuffi.jpg (though this one is minor, and you don't have to bother, I just wouldn't mind seeing the background removed). If you don't have the time, then I don't mind, I just know how good you are with images. :) —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 15:39, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- For Vuffi Raa? Abso-kriffing-lutely. I dunno what possessed Fact Files to put that white border around him everywhere, but it'll make chopping him out fairly simple. I just wish I had the Fact File to scan the pics myself; the quality on those three is a little low. I might redo the two EGtD pics while I'm at it, since those are a breeze. I'll get on it later tonight. CooperTFN 20:25, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- If you want, I could scan in the entire Fact Files pages at 400dpi (well actually I can go anywhere up to about 4000dpi without it taking a long time, but 400 is usually enough) and send them to you if you'd like? —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 20:34, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- That could work. E-mail it to me - cooper@theforce.net. CooperTFN 20:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Sending them now, but each image is about 15 MB each so they may take a while :) —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 21:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Re:
- Sure. You would, I'm assuming, use the userbox as your form of basically disapproving of the Inquisitorius. Nothing wrong with that, and if you made it into a custom userbox, I would have no problem with it. However, there are users (because I have seen userbox proposals and such before) that pretty much wouldn't stop at the userbox and would find ways to de-rail an approved organization at Wookieepedia. I'm all for constructive criticism and even a little dissent- hey, we can express ourselves here somewhat- but I would prefer that a template not be made of a userbox that could be interpreted as divisive. I hope that kind of clears things up, and I'd be happy to answer any other questions you may have. Cheers. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 14:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hey, those are legitimate complaints. Do you mind if I copy and paste the text over to Inq:Complaints Department? It was established to try and help solve differences such as this. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 15:05, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- First of all, all the complaints left on that page are listened to and most of them are discussed. We try and make compromises, and help people understand what we do. If you just absolutely hate the institution of the Inquisitorius and totally want it gone, well, what the community gives, the community can take away. Put up a CT on removing some of the Inq's power or the Inq itself. I must warn you though, should you do so, I will adamantly oppose you and recruit other users to join me in my cause in adamantly opposing you. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 03:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- "'I must warn you though, should you do so, I will adamantly oppose you and recruit other users to join me in my cause in adamantly opposing you.'" That sounds suspiciously like a threat Ataru. I cannot abide bullying.
As for "recruiting others to join you in your cause", that sort of behavior may have been tolerated when you were a regular user, but it should not be tolerated in an admin. It is not your job to try to push through legislation which you support through artificially manipulating the voting process. Lobbying for votes verges on an abuse of authority.–SentryTalk 00:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)- I understand. I got somewhat carried away, but it really annoys me when a fairly new administrator starts throwing their weight around like that, especially when they get all condescending with an established user such as yourself. If an administrator cannot change someone's mind using logic and reason, then they should give up; live and let live. They should never, ever try to bully users into submission by threatening to get their friends to vote against a piece of legislation; that sort of behavior is childish and petty. Of course, the whole situation is made worse by the fact that Ataru is so personally involved in the Inquisitorius.
My major point was that a CT discussion thread should be allowed to rise or fall based on its individual merits and not because of administrator interference and politicking. Influence and authority on the wiki should never be allowed to be decided based on how many fellow users an individual can get to vote for them. At that point, a vote becomes a personal matter of power and pride, and stops being about the relevant issues. Vote lobbying is not allowed during WotM and Sysop nominations and it should not be allowed in CT threads.
Perhaps I took Araru's statment out of context, but it seems to me that such statements are just part of a greater trend. On Wookieepedia, power seems to be residing in fewer and fewer individuals. On top of that, those in power are becoming increasingly insular. Transparency seems to have gone out the window; more and more important decisions are made by the few users who regularly visit the IRC chat channel. When their closed decisions are "opposed" (ie. questioned) by an outsider, the wiki leadership appears to be getting much more abrasive and confrontational. Frankly, the whole situation makes me happy that I jumped ship when I did.–SentryTalk 02:00, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

- Woah! That's not what I meant at all! Wow. I should really watch what I type and how it can be interpreted- I never thought it would come across like that. First off, I was not trying to bully CooperTFN at all! I sincerely apologize for that if that's how it came across- to both Sentry, Cooper and anyone who else who got that idea.
I guess now would be a good time to clarify something- what I meant by "recruit others" was tell people that a new CT was up on the issue, not how they should vote. I was under the impression that that was okay, but if it's not, just tell me, and the idea won't come across from me again. The point I was trying to get across was that CooperTFN could place a CT up- I wouldn't stop him or anything remotely like that. I was just saying that I'd oppose it, because I think it's a good institution.
Thirdly, I suppose I was getting a little abrasive, and I apologize for that. When I wrote that, the Inquisitorius was taking a lot of flak for de-featuring articles that simply did not meet all the requirements. Sorry.
Finally, I apologize again for placing an air of condescension on the discussion. That was not my intent, and after re-reading it, I did notice that I was being, basically, a snob. Well, I win the "Open mouth, insert foot" award.
I'd really prefer to not be considered "part of the problem" if in fact there is one, so if there's anything else I should do to rectify that, by all means, tell me. Again, I'm really sorry for the mistaken impressions and communication errors, as well as my attitude. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 02:13, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hey CooperTFN, I want to apologize for creating an ugly scene on your talk page. I have since apologized to Ataru and I hope that you will forgive me for my intrusion on your affairs as well.–SentryTalk 17:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Re:BoShek
Just thought I'd reply here rather than on my own talk page...I don't seem to have received any e-mail from you (I assume it would be in regards to BoShek) as of yet. Could you tell me which e-mail address you sent it to, though, as I only really check andrew@jaymach.com (the jaymach@jedi-council.com one gets sent here) and jaymach@gmail.com so if you've sent it to any of the others, I've simply not checked for it. —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 03:22, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Fanon Write-off
I see your point. You have my support if you attempt to launch a word count thing, but I would like to see it eventually given the out. But the current discussion has truly bought it. Thefourdotelipsis 09:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Your username question
I noticed your request to Aziz. Unfortunately, you can't change your username on Wikia. The closest you can come is:
- Set up a new account, and start editing under that account.
- Replace your current userpage with the text #REDIRECT[[User:(insert your new username here)]] (a hard redirect), or text advising browsers of your new username, together with a link (a soft redirect.)
Your old contributions will not be attributed to your new account, but anyone clicking your old signature or looking your username up when checking article histories will be redirected to your new account.
Over on Wikipedia, you can change your username, and have your former username's contributions attributed to your new account. Wikia, since your username is shared between a lot of wikis, won't let you do this (so far.) Wikipedia ettiquette also allows you to go through your old contributions to talk pages and change your signature. However, if you start a new account, I recommend you don't do that in order to avoid confusion. Just leave it so your old user page points to the new one.
Since you've been using this account for so long, it might be better to change the wikilink in your signature from "[[User:CooperTFN|CooperTFN]]" to "[[User:CooperTFN|Cooper]]" or "[[User:CooperTFN|Coop]]" or whatever you like, presuming the username you'd like to use is similar to your current one. (You might also want to register an account under that variant so no one else tries to use that name, but continue using this account.) —Silly Dan (talk) 13:20, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- As for signatures, see Wookieepedia:Editing FAQ#Signatures. Most users with elaborate signatures make a template as described there, but if you just want to display a slightly changed username, add a link to your talk page, etc., you can just go to your preferences, put raw code like —[[User:Silly Dan|Silly Dan]] <sub>[[User talk:Silly Dan|(talk)]]</sub> in the "Nickname" box, and click the "Raw signatures" option. Cheers, —Silly Dan (talk) 11:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Still no Zodge
Hey Coops. I just got my old computer fixed and searched for your Zodge article, but i'm afraid it's not on there either :-( I did however find your illustration, if that is any use to you? Sorry dude :-( Are you still interested in contributing to the next Outsider? I'm just about to spark its revival... --Azizlight 03:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Route stub logo
Hello. Can you try and remember where you got this image from? Imperators II(Talk) 08:45, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
- I see. Well, it's only used in a stub template so I don't see how it being self-made would matter much. Thanks for the reply! Imperators II(Talk) 09:03, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- BTW, Fred was kind enough to help out and create a new image instead. Imperators II(Talk) 17:24, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Signature
Hello. Please note that your current signature violates rule 3 of our Signature policy: "You must include your actual, full username. Administrators may use abbreviations of their usernames, provided they are clearly recognizable to the community at large." Imperators II(Talk) 17:25, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- Ha, speaking of new rules--just a few items up on this page you can actually see a former admin teaching me how to do that. =p No big deal, in any event. CooperTFN 17:36, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
Images
Hi there. When uploading images, please remember to fill in all the availabe fields in the information box as I did here. Thanks. OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 10:57, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- I plead ignorance re: the categories but I honestly wasn't sure about the license tag--it may not be a full comic cover but I don't think it's technically a panel either. Are those the only two options? CooperTFN (talk) 14:54, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Seeing that the image isn't part of the final comic cover and that you listed one of the interior artists, I assumed that it's from a comic panel. Is the image from a variant cover? If so then yeah, {{Comiccover}} should be used instead. OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 15:00, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- It's from issue 6's "Cover B", per here. See Ossio credited as A/CA, meaning "Art/Cover Art". CooperTFN (talk) 15:25, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hmm, comparing it to Florean's other art you're probably right on that score, and the crediting at my link is incorrect (or at least misleading) Perhaps Ossio did an additional cover. CooperTFN (talk) 15:28, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
