Also in this issue, Mark's Remarks continues to cover New Talent Department submissions, in this case a plot by Jean-Jacques Dzialowski, with some art by Gerald Teon Walker.
And this is the final Christmas issue of Marvel Age to feature a Groo cover by Sergio Aragones (or anyone else, for that matter). Sad!
