Fortunately there's lots of fun inside the issue, including an article on the return of John(ny) Blaze as Ghost Rider. There was also the new Marvel Limited line, a catch-all dedicated to reprinting classic issues into comics and collected editions. This issue also took an in-depth look at the Spider-Man Animated Series.
Along with that, Marvel introduced a line of Disney comic, including The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and an anthology title. Plus, readers got a look at toys to come in Marvel Age's coverage of Toy Fair 1994.
