A few thoughts:
— I am ALL OVER this issue. Not only do we get the Marvel Super Heroes, we get a Logan’s Run feature? Oh, come on!
— RetroFan #16 is scheduled to ship Aug. 11, 2021, give or take a week or two. It will be available at comics shops and magazine sellers but you can already pre-order it directly from publisher TwoMorrows. It lists for $9.95. Click here.
— What’s your fave Marvel Super Heroes series? Mine’s Captain America, of course. But I do dig that groovy Hulk theme.

Disney needs to remaster these and officially release them. Add Giant-Man and the Human Torch for a package release. They got excluded back then because the Torch would appear next year in The Hanna Barbara FF4. Hank just got the shaft as usual. I would have preferred him over the Sub-Mariner.
