A new issue of BackIssue magazine hits the stands this week with the great theme of Saturday Morning cartoons. In addition to the Alex Ross cover, the Hanna-Barbera remembrances, and the interviews with Jackson Bostwick (Captain Marvel!), there is a decent article about the Super Powers toy line written by yours truly.
It’s pretty much a distillation of the whole SP archive, with some nice new info sprinkled in and interviews with fans in the pro community to round it all out. And there is lots of fun stuff in the whole magazine, including contributions from an old friend of AFI, Ruben Procopio!
A big thanks to Cornboy and Eric from the Four Horsemen, Mark Waid, Julius Marx, and Iron-Cow for the assists! Go check it out, it’s fun!
Ran to my comic shop at lunch and picked this up. Congrats on getting a really great article published, Jason.
Makes me wish I was more of a DC guy rather than a Marvel guy back in the day. Unlike many on our board I only have a handful of Super Powers figures and whenever I get the urge to hit eBay for more I get scared away.
Anyway, really enjoyed it. Thanks.
I’ve got a copy on pre-order that should be on the way soon. The Super Powers article had me intrigued as it was, but I wasn’t aware that you were the guy behind it. Good for you, man! I’m more psyched than ever to read it now.
Back Issue is a great publication, and Two Morrows does a great job with their entire line of magazines and books. I just finished their Gene Colan biography last week and it was a terrific read.
