Marvel Age #32

Marvel Age #32 is Marvel's official news magazine from 1985, and the cover — penciled and inked by Paul Smith — makes its promise loud and clear with that banner headline: "The X-Men and Alpha Flight! 'Nuff Said!" The cover delivers exactly that, packing in a crowd of familiar faces from both teams, including Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Professor X, and a host of Alpha Flight members rendered in Smith's clean, confident linework. It's a great snapshot of two of Marvel's most beloved super-teams sharing the spotlight, making this issue a fine time capsule of mid-1980s Marvel at its most energetic.
