MARVEL AGE
COVERING MARVEL MEDIA IN "ANDY MANGEL'S REEL MARVEL"!
(note: downloadable article text to be updated in the future)

MARVEL AGE
published by Marvel Comics

Andy Mangel's Reel Marvel was a regular monthly column detailing the past, present, and future of Marvel's properties in the media. Although the title of the column was grammatically incorrect, for some reason this escaped everyone!
• Original editor Jim Salicrup loved Mangels' column (and later hired him for work at Topps). Second editor Renee Witterstaetter largely left the popular column alone. Third editor Steve Saffel (who later edited Andy's Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Characters book) didn't think the column fit into his reboot of the magazine and cancelled it. Oddly, a poll showed it as one of the top five favorite features of Marvel Age magazine!
• When Marvel Age was cancelled, Mangels was later rehired by editor Tim Tuohy for the new Marvel Vision magazine, where Andy Mangels's All-New Reel Marvel began!
• Note: Logo images to the right are drawn by Marvel staffers. Mangels was never fond of the first image by KEZ, but the second/better image only appeared in the final column!
