Back in the early 1980s, ace underground/alternative writer Jan Strnad (Dalgoda, Sindbad, Mutant World) flirted with Marvel Comics for the duration of a few Spider-Man stories. "My Brilliant Career at Marvel" is Strnad's acid distillation of his working experience, a point-by-point summation of why the Marvel method works against producing anything new, interesting, or worthwhile. This classic '82 issue also includes interviews with Jack Jackson, John Byrne, and Gil Kane, and a review of a then-unknown little fantasy novel called Who Killed Roger Rabbit?
