Marvel Age #98

Marvel Age #98 serves up a wonderfully eclectic preview magazine, with a cover penciled by Rodney Ramos and inked by Val Mayerik that spotlights the monstrous, green-skinned Toxic Avenger clutching a cheerful blonde woman — the speech bubble cheekily asking "Can we stay at the Avengers Mansion now?" The cover also teases Wolverine teaming with Magneto in a space exodus, plus an inside look at Night Cat, whose portrait appears in a small inset at the bottom. Inside, Fred Hembeck flies solo on all creative duties for his signature humor strip, making this 1991 issue a genuinely fun snapshot of Marvel's behind-the-scenes promotional energy at its most playfully self-aware.
