The two-part spotlight on The Official Trading Cards of the Marvel Super Heroes features some top notch art by Arthur Adams - and even though the Artists Checklist includes literally dozens of other artists, Adams is the only artist shown in these two features, excepting a little art by John Romita Jr. and Erik Larsen.
The upcoming debut of the Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure comic book series (featuring awesome stories and art by the great Evan Dorkin) is covered in an article that's an interview with Bill S. Preston and Ted "Theodore" Logan.
And Mark's Remarks takes over the New Talent Department, with Mark Gruenwald pulling back the curtain to explain that, unless your art is really, really good, editors just don't have the time to deal with it. The column goes on to look at a submitted Daredevil plot from two French writers.
