Title: Marvel Fanfare
Issue Number: 1
Release Date: March 1982
Highlights
- First appearance of Vertigo
- Powerhouse Marvel team of Jim Novak (letterer), Michael Golden (pencil, inks and coloring), Chris Claremont (writer), Al Milgrom (editor), and Jim Shooter (editor-in-chief)
- Reference is made to X-Men 60, 61, 63, 64, 94, 113 through 116, and Amazing Spider-Man 103, and 104
- Michael Golden animates Spider-Man's eyes / lenses to help tell the story
- A one-page story, starring Al Milgrom, with special appearance by Jim Shooter, tells readers all about the all-new Marvel Fanfare title
- Holiday back-up story featuring Daredevil and Santa Claus - well, not really, but a guy dressed as Santa
- I already have this signed by Michael Golden and Jim Shooter - I should get it signed by Al Milgrom and Chris Claremont at Baltimore Comic Con 2025
- Despite the comic being 32 pages, the story ends on page 17 with a "to be continued" cliffhanger
- Savage Land stories have never been among my favorites, and this one is along those lines
Oddities
- None
