I would assume the rights are held (or at least contested) by the owners of The Electric Company (which was the Children's Television Workshop and is now the Sesame Workshop) and PBS. Whether either of those would be willing to work with a Disney owned Marvel...

The first Diary of A Wimpy Kid book had series protagonist Greg mentioning his fear of Shel Silverstein's picture on the back cover of The Giving Tree. Silverstein's actual picture for reference:

laz0rbeak posted:It's actually not Wendell Vaughn either. It's Robert Grayson/Marvel Boy/The Uranian. He was a 50's hero that was later reintroduced as a member of Agents of Atlas. No, it's Wendell. He used the name Marvel Boy from his first appearance in Hulk until the start of the Quasar series. The Spidey Super Stories version appeared after Wendell started appearing occasionally.

Vaughn first appeared in Captain America #217 as Marvel Boy, wearing the same costume as Robert Grayson. He was part of the SHIELD Super-Agents. This issue is dated January 1978. That Spidey Super Story was in Spidey Super Stories Vol 1 31, dated February 1978, one month after the new Marvel Boy and future Quasar debuted. HOWEVER, pretty much every site ever (ComicVine, Marvel Wikia, etc) says it's Grayson in Spidey Super Stories so... yeah.

Then again, continuity is confusing: It can be hard to keep track of all the costume changes (like whatever Moondragon is wearing):  Trademark disputes can be vicious:   I don't know what the gently caress:

Quasar was a weird goddamn comic at times, there's definitely stuff to mine between those pages, like the super-race or pretty much anything involving Epoch.

I think it's Strange Tales I, but definitely one of those two. It's also missing the best part: "A dog, a barrel. Ridiculous!"
