Stan's Soapbox tries to downplay the "us vs. them" feelings of some Marvel fans, and even mentions Archie, Harvey, and Gold Key, as well as DC. In other news, Marvel's new magazine Pizzazz is promoted and Marvel Super Special #7 features an adaptation of the movie "Jaws II." There's an adaptation of the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" movie and KISS appears in Marvel Super Special #5. Also a couple plugs for the regular 35¢ comics.
