The gang who would soon form Image comics continues to dominate the promotional efforts at Marvel Age this month, with Jim Valentino's revival of the Guardians of the Galaxy on the cover side-by-side with the promise of a dinner with Todd McFarlane.
But the real star of this issue may be Captain America, who was about to appear in his second movie, and his first full-length feature with a theatrical release. This one starred Matt Salinger and, well, you can check out the trailer here. Marvel plugged the movie in Stan's Soapbox and indirectly in "The Many Faces of Captain America" feature.
