Three hundred issues of the Man without Fear, and Marvel Age jumps in with a big retrospective including interviews with Ann Nocenti, Lee Weeks, Gene Colan, Steve Gerber, John Romita Jr., John Romita Sr., Klaus Janson, Frank Miller, Stan Lee and others. Stan's Soapbox, Hembeck's Page, and the Marvel Trivia Quiz all look at DD as well. It's all slightly odd when you consider that they didn't have anything new to promote, but it's fun all the same.
Also in this issue, a young Dan Slott takes a group of kids on a tour of the Marvel offices, with stops in the Bullpen and some of the editors' offices.
