Make Mine Marvel Age: December 2024

Could this be the strangest cover ever to run on Marvel Age Magazine? It sure could! Of course, this was the era of peak Clive Barker, so it makes sense to spotlight him this way. The accompanying article features seven more pieces of Barker's artwork, and focuses not only on his Hellraiser comic anthology series, but also talks about his novels and movies.

Also in this issue, Marvel pulled back the curtain on a request from the Comics Code Authority to not show Juggernaut experiencing the "classic injury to the eye motif."

And I dig the "Great Moments in Marvel History" feature, which spotlights recurring themes on covers - in this case, the many times Iron Man got all melted!
