CLASSIC X-MEN #1 by Claremont, Cockrum, and Bolton
"Reprinting the first third of GIANT SIZE X-MEN #1" plus 20 new
pages by Cockrun and Bolton. The quote above contradicts previous
information, which stated that the last part of GS #1 would be re-
printed this issue. We'll have to wait and see, but I think the
entire issue should be reprinted.
ALPHA FLIGHT ANNUAL #1 by Mantlo, Stroman, and Talaoc
This issue concentrates on that memorable scene from a recent issue
wherein Puck flew an airplane into Wolverine's head. The segment will
be expanded to 48 pages and new bridging material will be added.
The issue will be laser-scanned onto baxter paper so that the fans
will be able to fully appreciate the subtleties of not only Bill's
fine scripting but of the art, as well.
DR. STRANGE graphic novel by DeMatteis and Dan Green
Doc returns to the place that created him. The Ancient One has
gone, but he has left a gift - the powers of which are a mystery.
STEELGRIP STARKY #1 by Weiss and Sherman
Featuring the "All-Purpose Power Tool".

OK, so I made up the contents of the ALPHA FLIGHT ANNUAL. Here's the
actual plot by Big Bill Mantlo:
