Saving the ignoble 90s one year at a time, 10 covers at a time. We're up to 1996, a year where it was apparently fashionable (again) to destroy the comic's logo, but also one that gave us a couple of images iconic enough to get homaged for years to come. Find them on the list below. As usual, my thanks to Mike's Amazing World of Comics (link will take you to the start publication month, not the cover dated one) where you can play along.
But perhaps you have different ideas?

I just have to know.
The Megazines were cool though, these thick slabs of comic reprinting full issues of various Marvel classics. My favorite was the general Marvel Megazine, which was running Miller Daredevil and Byrne Fantastic Four and a couple other things.
