I actually had that very magazine. This was Marvel’s attempt at trying to tap into the Dynamite Magazine(which was way better) market.

Nice job having Dr. Strange use his supreme sorcery to play guitar, because as we all know, his fingers are virtually useless due to that horrible car crash her suffered. They cost him his job as a high paid, high profile surgeon!

I'll go stuff myself in a locker now...

Spiderman villain Electro had a whole genre named after him.

I’m surprised that Marvel didn’t go the obvious route, and stick Power Man on bass.

Maybe there’s a lesson in it about how gender-divided youth pop culture has become – picture the Jonas Brothers and Wolverine on a cover today; it’d provoke scorn. Of course, mainstream superhero comics now cater almost exclusively to adult collectors. But that Hulk/Shaun Cassidy cover warms my heart.

DESERVEDLY SO. (My first rock idol. And I have even have murky photographic proof -- that's a poster of him there above the orange record player.)
