One of my all-time favorites.<br /><br />One of the best I remember from the Bronze was Marvel Double Feature #1, with both Cap and IM. Obviously they took stock samples of both figures (Cap from TOS 59..), but the coloring was very dynamic.<br /><br />Howard the Duck 8 was pretty cool, and MTU 9's been seen on a lot of t-shirts at Target as well.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-62250700144020974202014-07-29T08:07:48.704-05:002014-07-29T08:07:48.704-05:00AARRGH!!!

Because Byrne drew it to show the page underneath.<br /><br />The cover to Wolverine #50 is very similar, but I believe it was actually die-cut, so the slashes were real and you could see through to the splash page.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988016825582035390noreply@blogger.com
