Inspired by the "Need a Legion reference" thread, this is a thread to post general questions about comics not related the Legion.
MY question: I remember a Spider-Man story in which he recounts his origin and, at the end, leaves a present at Uncle Ben's grave. The present turns out to be the microscope Uncle Ben gave Peter, which inspired the latter's interest in science. After Spidey leaves, a gravekeeper finds the microscope and takes it home for his son.
Was this story published in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN? What was the issue number and cover date?

I agree, Cobie. If you want to know why I wanted to know which issue this story was from, check out my blog.

OK, I've got this scene in my head but I can't, for the life of me, remember what it's from:
Someone is in a woman's kitchen. The woman offers the person some tea. The person asks what kind she has, so she opens her cabinet and starts reading down a long list of the teas. It starts out normal with like "Chamomile" and "Earl Grey" and such, but then starts getting surreal with odd things like "Blueberry Misery" and "Lemon Despair" (I'm making those up... but they are things like that). I'm pretty sure one of the flavors is just "Mouse".
I want to say it's some Vertigo book, like "Sandman" or "Lucifer" but I'm not entirely sure.
Does that ring a bell for anyone? It's driving me batty.

While Pre-Crisis Earth-2 had an Aquaman, Aquaman's origins didn't involve Atlantis until the Silver Age, so I'm pretty sure that, unless there happens to be a Golden Age story about someone visiting Atlantis that I'm not aware of, the answer is no.
Edit: Wait, now that I look it up, the Golden Age Aquaman did use Atlantis as a base, only it was a long abandoned undersea city.

That sounds like it's definitely a Sandman scene though I can't quite remember where. It may be Death: the High Cost of Living. I'll ask my brother and sister--they'll know immediately.

I do remember Delirium referring to " green mouse" ice cream as being the worst flavor. That was in the Brief Lives arc. The tea scene isn't ringing a bell, though.

Would anyone know when the word, "Rao," was first used in the Superman mythos?
It was fairly ubiquitous starting in the 70's, but I was just curious if the concept of Rao as a Kryptonian deity preceded the use of the exclamation, "Great Rao!" or whether the expression came first and the Kryptonian back-story was filled in after the fact.

I've read about this before, but my memory is a bit hazy. I'm pretty sure the use of "Great Rao!" as an expression and "Rao" as a name for the Kryptonian sun arose pretty much simultaneously. I believe it's use as a name for a deity is a later invention.

I'm planning on writing a Crystal solo story. I know she and Ronan split up so that there could be a truce between the Inhumans and the Kree, but could someone please provide more details about the current status quo of the Inhumans, specifically the rest of the Royal Family other than Crystal?

WHoooaa.... Stop the clock! There was an Earth-2 Aquaman? I don't ever recall seeing one - did he die early on? Was he very similar to E-1 Aquaman?
