In this way, Wallace could continue to hawk the licensed products that were the backbone of his fiscal operation and maintain the attention of the audience of consumers. Wallace wound up hiring local fans Mark Evanier and Steve Sherman to put the fanzine together (though it certainly appears that Evanier did all of the work on this initial version himself, with Sherman only contributing a solicited letter of comment.) . In all, six issues were published, with two different editions of issue #4 (due to Evanier and Sherman quitting when they discovered Wallace's shady business practices) and two different editions of #1. This was the first one, considered issue #0 these days. Jack Kirby contributed a new piece of artwork featuring Captain America for its cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marvelmania International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51655164657962,"sku":"67543","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/EB02C5C9-E4BE-450B-A952-5C3B8131203F.jpg?v=1780874886","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/marvelmania-magazine-1-67543","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
