Next up through this era’s revolving door, we have writer Marc Guggenheim, artist Salvador Larocca, and colorist Jason Keith. We saw Larocca on FF, Vol. 3 #9, way back when, but he’s…

ASM 548
The great Dave Stewart randomly takes over colors this week. Morry Hollowell has a very particular, recognizable coloring style, and I think he’d colored everything McNiven & Vines had done for Marvel…
