FOOM Magazine #17

This 1977 issue of Marvel's fan magazine FOOM goes all-in with a vivid, larger-than-life caricature of Stan Lee — dubbed "Stan the Man" right on the cover — his face painted with the masks and imagery of Marvel heroes, including Spider-Man's web pattern on one half and the blue-and-red of another character on the other, with winged and costumed figures pressing in from every side. It's a gloriously dense portrait that captures the sprawling Marvel universe converging on the man most associated with it. A genuinely fun artifact of mid-'70s Marvel fandom, this is the kind of enthusiastic, in-house publishing that made FOOM such a treat for fans of the era.
