I have not read this comic but I have read about this comic. Apparently, readers could send Marvel $15 bucks (plus another $3 for shipping) and they’d get a comic book where the purchaser appeared (by name) as Captain Universe in the story–“your” name would be inserted. There was on version for males and another for females.

Yeah, it’s a gimmick. But it’s harmless.
