There are tons of errors in the Marvel series, especially when the wrong character names are used or when characters have different outfits than the ones they were just wearing in the same previous scene.
The thing is, I'm a lot more forgiving with proofreading errors as the price point and frequency of the publication goes down
On a monthly title that costs 75 cents or whatever comics used to cost, I'd be more than happy to ignore typos and mislabeled/mis-coloured characters (I'm pretty easy to please, believe it or not, when it comes to my entertainment).
Despite my misgivings about the editing though, I still heartily recommend getting Bellomo's book if you can. There's a lot of behind-the-scenes information in there that any "What Secrets Lurk In The Filecards?" regular would find very interesting (Hama's strongly worded written reactions to Hasbro regarding the introduction of Footloose, the Dr. Mindbender design, and Cesspool, for example).
