I'm not seeing Annette Bening as Tigra at all though. That one's a head scratcher. Not sure how the hell they landed on that.

redhead. and in early 1994 she was probably in the news because she was making "love affair" with her bf warren beatty. and that's about it. 1994 might have been too early for them casting angie everheart as every redhead but idk

they were right on the money in highlighting two great characters whose stories have stood the test of time: alan moore's miracleman reboot, and superman villain conduit

Oh hey, first appearance of Broadway Comics. Tekno*Comix shows up in the news a lot more than I really expected.

pretty sure wizard and tekno had some kinda mutual back-scratching going on

What in Jack Kirby's name was a "lin-gen re-cover"?

Gen13 #1 had 13 variant covers. Michael Lopez drew one that was a parody of a Victoria's Secret mail-order catalog, which was a thing that existed back in the 1990s. Said variant cover's nickname was the "Lin-Gen-rie" variant.

I always remember the homage cover to the 1993 Janet Jackson Rolling Stone cover but it was Caitlin and Grunge. Every time we put it up on the back issue shelf it'd sell in a day at most. It would sell way over guide because Overstreet did not account for the tremendous buying power of horny.

Jason Pearson RIP

no one has yet provided a scan of wizard #50 for the internet archive, so here's the wizard news section from my own personal copy. scanning this thing is really annoying so other articles will follow in time. features are on paul smith, todd mcfarlane, and ben edlund. casting call is spawn. special anniversary articles include a bunch of wizard sucking its own dick.

50 is up on Archive.org. Just have had a busy week and haven't had time to post much.

drat i didn't find it when i searched, i guess i just need glasses

edit: starting with #50, the price guide started including comic recommendations from wizard staffers on the verso pages. almost all marvel & dc superheroes, as you'd expect, including stuff as recent as cable #20 from 1994
