Shout out to the crew at @comicsthemagazine.bsky.social for a very cool ad in #dccomics this month.

Since we’re talking #Heroclix today, here’s a couple of our favorites from the archives.

Wizard 128 featured the first full ad for #Heroclix featuring #marvelcomics themed miniatures on a "unique combat dial-base". Were you collecting these in 2002?

The Collector tells readers to beware of action figures signed by "Todd McFarland" or @toddmcfarlane.bsky.social or anyone for that matter, since it will decrease the value in the minds of most collectors. Is this still true today, all you figure fiends?

Here they are the Hot 10 comics and Top 10 Creators rankings from Wizard 128 in 2002. Check out #gijoe , @brianmbendis.bsky.social and #MichaelTurner living large on top at number 1!

Here’s the final batch of comic book references on #TheSimpsons as presented in Wizard 128.

Plenty of Comic Book Guy gags and #stanlee cameo fun from #thesimpsons in this piece from Wizard 128. What is your favorite comics based joke from this long running prime time sitcom?

Wizard 128 did a piece about comic book references made on #thesimpsons up until 2002. This first batch involved an appearance by the #riverdale gang, a fan theory about Casper being the ghost of Richie Rich and Malibu Stacy talking like #spiderman with the pull of a string (1/3)

Wizard magazine selected #WillEisner as the number 1 Most Influential Comic Book Artist of all time in issue 128. Honestly, when the Oscar award of comic books is named after someone, they’re kind of a lock to win 1st place, right? 😄

The "God of #manga", Osamu Tezuka was number 3 on Wizard's list of 10 Most Influential Comic Book Artists, while Jack "King" Kirby landed at number 2 for his foundational design work, imagination and creating designs for #marvelcomics most enduring characters.

The minimalist master, #AlexToth was praised by many of the modern day creators he inspired, while juxtaposed against #GeorgePerez, known for going above and beyond in the detail department. Two titans on Wizard's 10 Most Influential Comic Book Artists list from issue 128.

Continuing with Wizard's rankings of the 10 Most Influential Comics Artists, Joe Madureira earned a spot due to his "manga-hybrid" style sparking a trend in comics. While Horror master, Johnny Craig was celebrated for the controversy of his beautifully disturbing illustrations.

Oh so crazy I JUST found the original #avengers vs #justiceFriends as we were packing to move- it’s oversized so it was hidden away in a weird place for 25 years #comics
