Marvel Vision

    (Marvel, 1996-1998)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.

Posters. Previews. Interviews. How-to columns. Creator bios.

Billed, perhaps presumptuously, by Marvel themselves as “The Marvel Fan Magazine”, this series featured all of the above plus all of the latest Marvel insider news of the time (circa 1996-1997). It included first-looks at hot projects such as Marvel vs. DC, X-Nation 2099, Silver Surfer, and Star Trek, as well as profiles of popular writers and artists like Warren Ellis, John Romita Jr., Dan Jurgens, and many others.
