Marvel Age #77

Marvel's official newsmagazine goes full action-adventure with its "Special Macho Issue," and Keith Pollard's cover delivers exactly that energy — Nick Fury charges front and center, eye patch and cigar firmly in place, flanked by a blue-suited male agent and a blue-haired woman in a tan jacket, all three bristling with weapons against a swirling stars-and-stripes backdrop. Inside, the issue promises a five-page preview of S.H.I.E.L.D., plus features on the Wolverine Saga and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, making this a particularly well-stocked edition of the newsmagazine Marvel fans were turning to in 1989 for a behind-the-scenes look at the universe they loved.
