One for the Dream Library, I guess.
Another one would be the Marvel book on algebra, obviously called... House of X.

Well, DC has already done something like that with the "Lex Luthor has stolen forty cakes." Now they only need to do "Lex Luthor has stolen a hypercube and is going to explain what it is".

Make it a complete corpus :)

Even more depressing than the original comics. Well done.

The book was published in 1969, not in 1987.
