Marvel Age #96

Marvel Age's Special X-Mas Issue arrives with a wonderfully chaotic cover by Sergio Aragonés, featuring his signature cast of bug-eyed, rubbery characters tumbling over one another beside a festive holly wreath — while a grinning, gap-toothed figure clutches an oversized gift box and a spotted creature lurks nearby. The candy-cane-styled logo and holiday trimmings set a playfully frenzied seasonal mood that only Aragonés could conjure. Inside, readers get a look at 1990 Marvel gift items plus a feature on Elektra — making this a fine slice of Marvel's promotional magazine at its most festive.
