Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #125
A 2008 issue of Toyfare: The Toy Magazine dives into a bold reimagining where the Spartans stand against King Mario’s advancing forces, refusing his emissary and rallying a 300-strong army.

Written by Zach Oat, Justin Aclin, Jon Gutierrez, Rob Bricken, Ward, and Collins, this issue blends mythic scale with playful subversion, all captured in a cover by Ward.
