Marvel Age #49

Marvel Age #49 brings the irrepressible cartooning of Sergio Aragonés to Marvel's official news magazine, and the cover delivers his style in full force. A gruff, heavily armed warrior brandishes a katana in a darkened, cluttered room while a small, startled blue figure scrambles away in the foreground — all rendered in Aragonés's wonderfully loose, expressive linework. For fans of Marvel's behind-the-scenes coverage in 1987, this is a genuinely fun package wrapped in one of comics' most distinctive cover artists doing what he does best.
