Issue Notes

In late 1989 Marvel adjusted their cover dates so that they were only two months ahead of schedule instead of four, hence the "Mid December" cover date. A full month passed between the publication of this issue and the two issues surrounding it. The advertising insert adds four pages to the magazine.
