FOOM Magazine #7

FOOM — Friends Of Ol' Marvel — was Marvel's own fan magazine, and issue #7 from Fall 1974 delivers a cover that's pure Marveldom in motion. John Buscema pencils and inks a red-drenched image of the Avengers — Thor, Captain America, the Hulk, and several teammates — bursting through the giant FOOM logo itself, crashing letters and sending debris flying in all directions. With Tony Isabella contributing to the interior and actual Bullpen photos promised inside, this is a genuine time capsule of what it felt like to be a Marvel fan in 1974.
