Make Mine Marvel Age

Just a few weeks ago, Don McGregor won a Finger Award for his long resume of outstanding comics writing – but back in the spring of 1991, he was returning to Marvel Comics for a new Black Panther epic featuring artwork by Dwayne Turner.

Another Dwayne was busy revisiting a Marvel 1970s stalwart – Dwayne McDuffie, that is, who had teamed up with co-writer Gregory Wright and returning penciller Denys Cowan for a new Deathlike epic. After a four-issue miniseries in 1990, the cyborg would return for a monthly, ongoing series that ended up running 34 issues.

And George Pérez goes cosmic with a preview of the Infinity Gauntlet, a new miniseries written by master of the cosmic Jim Starlin.

Epic-Grams

Marie Javins joins Epic editorial, meaning that she had to take down her epic "wall of cows" (which, by the way, I have seen in person -- and it is truly epic).
