on Panel of the Day #1615 (Splash Page Sunday!): “In these older issues, why is the writer sometimes listed as “Scripter”?

I bought this issue when it came out. Spidey had a few early 90s What Ifs that ended badly for him…. this one, What if Spidey kept the Captain Universe powers, What if Peter’s “parents” killed his wife and aunt… quite entertaining in a dark comedy way.
Pours one out for PirateBeck, the caller who brought this story to the Crawl Space’s attention.
“Look Kevin! He goes out like a bitch!”
“CHONK!”
Best Morbius story ever!
