A mere 27 years after his debut in Avengers #9, Wonder Man finally got his own solo series in 1991. The series would go on to run 29 issues, with guest-appearances by Spider-Man, the Hulk, and others. And this would be the first – and only – issue of Marvel Age to feature a multi-panel cover, the result of four sketches that were all judged to be too good to not use!
Even though there's a picture of Stan Lee with Ronald Reagan in this issue's Stan's Soapbox column, there's no mention of Rockin' Ronnie on the page, so we don't know what the occasion was. Too bad!
And even though it's been eight months since Captain America graced the cover of Marvel Age for his big 50th anniversary, this new issue features an article about Cap's Sentinel of Liberty series, coming out at last.
