Marvel Age #90

Marvel Age was Marvel's official fan magazine, and issue #90 from July 1990 makes a compelling case for itself — it's a CBG Fan Awards winner for Favorite Publication About Comics, and this issue spotlights the Spider-Man #1 reprint for those who missed it the first time around. Todd McFarlane's cover art dominates the page with a dynamic, tangled image of Spider-Man ensnared in thick, writhing chains, rendered in McFarlane's signature kinetic style. Rounding things out is a promised feature with Jim Lee speaking on page 12, making this a lively snapshot of Marvel at a genuinely exciting creative moment in 1990.
