Gene Colan takes over as the artist of multiple chapters for each issue of this Magazine. The stories are now self-contained, short tales, but they’re really interesting and off-beat–very character driven, and many are clearly not canonical. That doesn’t mean they aren’t good though. This was a really nice magazine, well worth tracking down.
It ends with issue #27.
Yeah, and I had a really nice letter published in one of them, but after four and a half decades, I cannot remember which issue it was in to save me! Nevertheless, even though I myself really cannot get behind any series that is not in-canon, ( in all of these stories in this magazine’s twenty-seven issue publication run, the Hulk was the ONLY monster and/or super-being to appear, in an obvious nod to the CBS ‘Incredible Hulk’ series that was so popular on TV at the time ) Gene Colan once again demonstrated his, uh, incredible artistic versatility by making the Hulk appear to be truly frightening, as in the above panel. Most of Marvel’s big, ugly creatures like the Thing, the Man-Thing, and the Hulk generally do not come across as frightening on the four-color page, as they should. ( the Wendigo is the exception to this rule- that sucker would be terrifying even in a kid’s thirty-nine cent storybook! ) It’s been a hell of a long time since I read this magazine, but was not the ultimate determination made by Marvel Magazine Management that, not only were these stories out-of-canon, but the entire run was just a big, extraterrestrial film-project produced by Bereet the Bird-Lady from Outer Space-??? I seem to recall this being the case. Series overall: Grade “C”/”C-“
I have found some sites that reprint letter pages–mayibe you can find it that way?
