Marvel had licensed out its characters for trading cards and collectibles in recent years, so it was only a matter of time before they rolled a line of video games. To up the ante, this issue of Marvel Age invites readers to take part in a video game giveaway sweepstakes. Readers could win games from Acclaim or Sega just by sending in their name, age, and address.
Also in this issue, it's Clive Barker's Razorline of exciting new comics, plus Marvel U.K.'s Frontier Comics -–not to mention the big crossover between The Punisher and Venom. As if things weren't hot enough already, there was the big Marvel Swimsuit Special, which mostly featured on illustrated heroes, but also made room for Marvel designer and sometime model Dawn Geiger.
