The "Comic Book Club" was having it's monthly meeting in Adam's treehouse. Adam, who was the head of the club, decided to make a master list of each member's first name, last name, favorite comic book, and how many they each have. Each member wrote down their information so Adam could make the list later at his house. After the meeting adjourned, he put the lists down on the kitchen counter because his dad was taking him out to get some ice cream! When he got home (with some very sticky fingers) he saw shreds on the floor! Luckily, he remembers some information from the papers. Can you help him make the master list using the information he remembers?
