The "Comic Book Club" was having it's monthly meeting in Adam's treehouse. Adam, who was the head of the club, decided to make a master list of each member's first name, last name, favorite comic book, and how many they each have. Each member wrote down their information so Adam could make the list later at his house. After the meeting adjourned, he put the lists down on the kitchen counter because his dad was taking him out to get some ice cream! When he got home (with some very sticky fingers) he saw shreds on the floor! Luckily, he remembers some information from the papers. Can you help him make the master list using the information he remembers?

Loved it!
I hope Adam didn't work as hard as I did to learn his last name! I think he had an advantage over me!
Great teaser!

Good one! I loved it! thanks a bunch!
that was amazing
Thank you!
I really enjoyed it. Fun to solve and fun to read. Thanks!
nice teaser, i had to do it twice though because i messed up my grid the first time.
Great Job!! Kind of tricky w/#4 - at least for me. I thought one or the other must have six and at first thought I must be solving it wrong when I came up w/6 for the Hulk!
Great teaser! I didn't see the last clue until I had been struggling for quite a while! It certainly made things more clear!
Haha... I mixed up... I put Johnson under Adam!!! I reread it and laughed at my mistake. Then I got it!!! Yay!!!
Great job! Loved it!
