Marvel Age's 1990 Christmas gift to its readers was – a new Groo cover by Sergio Aragones! Who could ask for anything more?
Actually it looks like Marvel readers had lots to wish for at this time, because this issue of Marvel Age promised the new graphic novel Elektra Lives Again, written and illustrated by Frank Miller; The Infinity Gauntlet miniseries by Jim Starlin and George Pérez; a complete hardcover reprint of Marvel Comics #1 from 1939; and English-language reprints of the French Lieutenant Blueberry graphic novel series, illustrated by Jean "Moebius" Giraud.
And if you didn't notice - a couple of issues back, Marvel Age quietly dropped the Marvel Comic Attractions section, which left more space for articles and other excitement.
