Marvel Age #138 pays tribute to Jack Kirby, who had just passed away a few weeks earlier. The main article about Kirby's career includes quotes from Joe Simon, Joe Sinnott, John Severin, Will Eisner, Dick Ayers, Chic Stone, Martin App, George Roussos, Jack Abel, John Romita, and Flo Steinberg. Both Stan Lee and Fred Hembeck paid tribute to Kirby as well on their respective pages.
Elsewhere in the issue, the Punisher Meets Archie special gets the spotlight in an article and in Mark's Remarks, and readers learned about Marvel's deals with both Pizza Hut and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. Plus, Flair's 1994 cards are revealed, and Deadpool teams up with Cable.
