"Marvelmania Monthly Magazine #4" 

This version (with a black & white cover) was the second version of Marvelmania Magazine #4.

Mark Evanier, who edited issues one through four of Marvelmania magazine, left the organization with a scathing editorial in issue 4. The head of Marvelmania was so angry that he produced this revised version to excise Evanier's editorial and add his own: "...the issue submitted by our previous editor was not acceptable and had to be re-edited and re-printed."

Laid in to this copy are two rare bits of ephemera: a Marvelmania Monthly Magazine subscription renewal form, and a ballot for the First Annual Irving Awards.
