Marvel Age #124 looks at the next chapter of Jim Starlin's continuing cosmic journey across the Marvel Universe with The Infinity Crusade, as well as Epic's Heavy Hitters line, the latter of which featured Joe Kubert's first work for Marvel in close to 40 years. Hey, it helps if your sons are two of the publisher's hottest artists!
Also in this issue, Marvel promotes one of the weirdest licensed comics ever: Mad Dog, which spun out of the short-lived TV series Bob, starring Bob Newhart as comics artist Bob McKay. In the show, Bob created Mad Dog, which is revived by a new publisher who wants to make the characters less of a nice guy and more of a bloodthirsty vigilante. The comic reflected that by having two stories per issue: one written and drawn by Ty Templeton, starring the old version, and the other by writer Evan Dorkin and artist Gordon Purcell.
Also in this issue, readers learned about upcoming projects including The Trouble with Girls, a new Tor series by Joe Kubert, and Howard Chaykin's Midnight Men.
