I couldn't find this in the FAQs, and I'm not sure if it's
been asked before, so here's a question for JB:
I'm in the process of re-reading Sensational
She-Hulk for the first time in many years, and
rediscovered a character I'd completely forgotten
about--Big Enilwen. This overgrown, teddy
bear-obsessed kid was featured in the Road
Pig/U.S. 1/Xemnu storyline. I didn't give any thought
to his unusual name at the time, but when I re-read
it, I couldn't help but notice that "Enilwen" is an
anagram of "Len Wein"...just a coincidence, or is
there more the story than that?
Thanks in advance for any response.

Len -- like myself -- is a collector of teddy bears.

I thought it was the "New Line" backwards that meant something. Ack!

I remember seeing Len Wein in a Teen Titans comicbook years ago. There
were Marv Molfman, George Perez and Len Wein... he has huging a Teddy
Bear. I don't remember what was all about, but I liked him a lot because of
his care of Teddy Bears (I love Teddy Bears).
There is another Len Wein story in the secon volume of PPSSM (Roger Stern
wrote it) were he saves a big bear that Peter Parker left in the garbage.

Thanks for the response. I plowed right through the
first 8 issues of She-Hulk, and look forward to
finishing off 31-50 soon.
The biggest surprise in re-reading the series so far
was that the Road Pig/U.S. 1 epic took place over the
course of two issues (with a subplot lead-in in an
earlier issue). With all the dangling plotlines that
were resolved and the number of villains and
supporting characters squeezed in there, I was
pleasantly surprised to find out how much stuff was
happening over the course of 44 pages (and there
was a "She-Hulk meets Hercules" dream sequence
in there, too, which made for a couple of pages of
"padding"). Talk about bang for your buck!
