Wizard got me into comics for the most part. It basically went: X-Men cartoon > collecting cards > checking Wizard because the X-Men were on it. I had a ton of issues of Wizard. None of my friends really cared about comics - still don't! - so it was an outlet for that nerdery. I had a subscription and I got some of the specials and I read them all cover to cover. I remember I think it was Darkbook 98 and the cover literally hanging on by a staple because I read it so much. I had a book that was mostly price guide - I wish I could remember the name of it - but it covered everything back to the golden age and every so often comics would get a short description. I even read that over and over. Wizard had some dumb humor. It was definitely irresponsible financially. But there was lots of good, at least from the perspective of a poor kid who couldn't afford the comics each month but could drop a fiver on Wizard.

X-O posted:Wizard Magazine Issue #12 August 1992 Nothing makes me want to try a new book more than showcasing their main character, tiny gremlin in a suit with Mega Man Robot Master hands.

X-O posted:Wizard Magazine Issue #23 July 1993 Finally got to the first Wizard I ever bought. I very much remember that Mike Allred interview and that picture of the guy in makeup at the top of Wizard News. I would've been 7 years old, holy moley.

I agree that he is cool. Not sure that anyone is three pages cool.

The Just Add Water article is genuinely kinda amusing. Mostly because I like the idea of naming a character "Bloodblood."

You could probably host those on archive.org at this point. I bet they'd take em.
