Those Nickelodeon sensations, Ren and Stimpy, lead off Marvel Age #121 with a cover and some great interior illustrations by Mike Kazaleh, an artist I first discovered in his 1986 Fantagraphics series The Adventures of Captain Jack.
Also at the top of this issue, the still-new Marvel Age editorial / design team unveil a new graphic approach to something no one cares about – the table of contents!
Plus, readers get a look at what's coming up from Marvel UK, Marvel's efforts to help with aid in the wake of Hurricane Andrew, Punisher 2099, why the final issue of Akira had been delayed, and three religious titles including The Screwtape Letters.
