FOOM Magazine #16

FOOM — Friends of Ol' Marvel — returns with issue #16, and the cover alone captures the wonderfully chaotic energy of the Marvel Universe's real-world home: a sprawling bird's-eye view of what appears to be the bustling Marvel offices, packed wall-to-wall with dozens of busy figures working, chatting, and creating across a maze of open cubicles and corridors. It's a charming, almost Where's Waldo-style snapshot of comics fandom's favorite publisher in full 1976 swing. For any Marvel devotee of the era, this fan club magazine offered a genuine behind-the-scenes connection to the House of Ideas.
