We've reached the final issue of Marvel Age Magazine at last – and it's as chock full of goodies as any issue you've seen along the way! This issue features a profile of the Hildebrandt brothers and their work on the Marvel Masterpiece trading cards. 

Also in this issue, John Kricfalusi hits Marvel with his big Spümo Comic Book, plus a passel of consumer goods featuring Marvel characters. And readers got a look at the new animated Marvel Action Hour. 

And that's it for Make Mine Marvel Age – almost! In the next couple of weeks we'll look at some superlatives and statistics before we wrap things up.
