After a couple short blocks, we’re back to a longer one. I broke up the Stern and Wolfman eras a little more just to keep them in the mix, but there’s about…

In this issue: SAC-MAN Fever! This issue brought to you by Bill Mantlo, Dave Simons inking his own pencils, Glynis Oliver, and SAC-MAN. This issue has one of the weirdest intros of…
