I had a subscription to Wizard for about five years, until I finished high school, so from around 2004-2009, and, hooboy, my memories of comics fandom are completely tied to the magazine. Such a special time to me personally. Some months when things were really rough for me it felt like I was just waiting for my new issue to Wizard to get me through things. In the past couple years I’ve been filling in my collection. I’m trying to get a full run. Thankfully they’re not too hard to find, nor too expensive in old comic book stores. I probably have 100+ issues now, going from early double digits to the mid-2000s (when I originally started collecting). They’re great little historical curiosities and they’re fascinating to read to see what the temperature of the industry was at the time. What stuck around, what didn’t, what became a much bigger deal than they forecasted, what fell off. It’s a great magazine!

drat. Yeah I only know Pat through his work in Wizard, so I’ve basically been reading his words in one way or another for at least half of my life. That stinks.

The infamous “two moon” cover lol. In an issue or so you’ll get letters pointing it out and Wizard apologizing for it.
