At one time Wizard Magazine was part of a huge Wizard publishing empire. Everywhere you looked Wizard Publications published pop culture/collectible magazines, special comic books, sponsored toys, trading card inserts and the like.
It seems it had its toes dipped into every conceivable collectible outlet.
But, with the popularity and growth of the Internet Wizard magazine sales began to dwindle until it was no longer profitable to publish. Ad revenue dried up and collectors surfed the Web obtaining up to the minute collectible news instead of waiting month to month for magazine publication releases.
When Wizard was at its height of popularity it published a number of ‘special’ issues dedicated to certain comic book characters-the X-Men being one of them.
In the Wizard X-Men Turn Thirty Collector’s Edition Wizard provided a guide to the comics up until that point in time. This would have been 1993 in the burgeoning comic book speculation period.
The book delves heavily into the origin and past of the X-Men and proceeds to follow the decades since spotlighting key events and character premieres.
The magazine also spotlights and speculates on the future of mutantkind in Marvel Comics and delves into each character's origin and background.
A special poster insert is included along with a timeline, X-Men movie and TV appearances and a creator gallery.
For some real ‘X’citement and an ‘X’cellent X-Men resource be sure to search for a copy.
