This may be a good place to mention, if I haven’t yet, that the month on the cover isn’t what it might seem. The cover date is actually the month newsstands were…
Month: March 2020
ASM 237
Hey, look, we haven’t seen ASM in a bit. Everybody’s on break this month. Stern plots, but Bill Mantlo scripts. Bob Hall does breakdowns and Frank Giacoia finishes. We open on Wilbur…
MTU 125
A double feature! Mike Esposito does finishes over Kerry Gamill’s breakdowns this month. Tigra’s back and still completely disinterested in the concept of clothes. She’s leaping around the city, thinking she’s late…

TAC 072
Doesn’t look like we’ll be waiting long. Are they in a fish tank? What am I looking at on this cover? It’s Bill Mantlo, Ed Hannigan and Al Milgrom at the boards…
