Marvel Age celebrates all things Spider-Man in issue #114, as 1992 was the 30th anniversary of everyone's favorite web-slinger! From the cover by Mark Bagley and John Romita, it's wall-to-wall Spidey, with articles quoting creators current and past, Hembeck's page, how a hologram is made, the making of the Spidey 30 logo, and lots more.
The issue also features more "incidental art" that I've enjoyed running on this blog. I've scanned a bunch of those pieces and posted them below.
I'd also like to point out that under the new editor, Steve Saffel, the masthead has been expanded a bit - mostly in that it now breaks down what roles individual members of the production team play, e.g. "color corrections," "cover colorist," mechanical artists," etc.
