Come with me now on a voyage of discovery as we return to an earlier era; when the sky was bluer, the air was purer, and we were all eager adventurers in the enchanted and magical kingdom of childhood that we thought was ours forever.
Or, if you prefer a less fanciful way of putting it, let's take a look back at The MIGHTY WORLD Of MARVEL in the month of December in the year 1972. JIM STARLIN is still producing the covers of this new weekly periodical, which is yet only a couple of months old in its seven year existence before being renamed in 1979. (MARVEL COMIC, in case you were wondering.)
The Big JOHN BUSCEMA illustration (2nd pic below) is a preview of the free giant-size poster awarded to readers who mutilated their comics by cutting out the tokens every week to send away for it. Trust me, the poster was more vivid and far sharper in colour and detail than the preview would suggest.
So - previews, pin-ups, and puzzle pages! What more could a Merry Marvelite ask for? Stories? Don't worry, it had those as well. What a bargain for only 5 pence. Now excuse me while I slobber over that pic of SUSAN STORM - I'm in lurv!
Don't miss Part Four!
