FOOM Magazine #18

FOOM — Marvel's fan club magazine — returns with issue #18, and the cover offers a fascinating peek behind the curtain. Pinned against a gray background are two black-and-white images: a comic art illustration featuring a diverse ensemble of characters posed outside a doorway bearing the phrase "abandon hope all ye who enter here," alongside a motorcycle-riding figure at center, and a candid photo of what appears to be a creator or Marvel staffer at work at a desk. It's the kind of insider, scrapbook-style presentation that made FOOM a genuine treat for Marvel enthusiasts in 1977.
