Squadron Supreme was Gruenwald's favorite piece of his own work.
He had requested that he be creamated when he died, and his acses mixed in with the printing ink of a comic book, so then editor Bob Harras did just that, having Gruenwald's ashes mixed in with the ink used to print the first edition of the trade paperback for Squadron Supreme. Fans who bought that first trade literally own a piece of the author.

Gilda, I remeber reading about this in the trade paperback and vaugely hoping I didn't have a first edition. I think it's a cool idea but...
GH, have no fear, I'll happily give you a viking funeral. Do you have a pool?
As for me, I want everything useful donated and the rest burned. There's a place where some friends and I camp and play music every summer. I hope they can take me there and I can spend one more weekend with them, then scatter me to the wind.
