When you're a professional artist with a grudge, you have a lot of places to hide your secret revenge messages. Artist Al Milgrom had it in for Marvel's Bob Harras, an editor who had recently left his post at the publisher, so Milgrom decided to celebrate the departure by hiding a secret, scrawly message about Harras on the spines of some books in the background of a scene, spelling out "Harras, Ha Ha He's Gone, Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish, He Was A Nasty S.O.B." The hidden message was discovered, Milgrom was fired (and later re-hired), while the issue was destroyed and republished. Never harass Harras.
