Along with familiar features playing musical chairs, Marvel Age reopened the door to the New Talent Dept. to one Bosco Ng -- and while I can't find any comics credits for Mr. Ng, he seems to have gone on to a fine career in animation, where he's become an Emmy Award-winning director and storyboard artist on Star Wars Rebels, The Clone Wars, and Resistance, among others.
Heroes on the horizon this month included the returning, meaning-than-ever Ghost Rider - now Ketch, as well as the oh-so-huggable John Candy, in his animated role as the head counselor of Camp Candy. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention one more hero -- my buddy Stuart Schreck, who this issue joined the hallowed ranks of Marveldom as a Mighty Marvel Correspondent!
