It's a new direction for Iron Man in this issue of Marvel Age, as longtime Iron Man co-writer and artist/inker Bob Layton shows off several new costume designs.
The four-issue Marvel Fanfare tale of the Warriors Three gets an article this issue, with art by Charles Vess. And the New Talent Department looked at the art of Frank Paur, a story director for Marvel Animation's G.I. Joe animated series.
Plus, Stan's Soapbox promises new projects in development in Hollywood starring Iron Man, the X-Men, Dr. Strange, Marada the She-Wolf, Blade the Vampire Hunter, Daredevil, and something called the Death-Cathlon that would be a graphic novel as well as a movie. Well, Stan, quite a few of those came to pass...eventually.
