Marc, fascinating! I don't believe the PIZZAZZ cover looks familiar but wild to learn that Superman graced the cover of a Marvel publication!Marc Tyler Noblemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732005290440645718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-33370703934883671692014-12-23T17:40:09.893-05:002014-12-23T17:40:09.893-05:00I was a massive Dynamite magazine fan, and I think...I was a massive Dynamite magazine fan, and I think what I liked most about it was that it was talking about adult-level culture on a kid level; it was acknowledging that elementary and middle-schoolers (or 'tweeners' as we'd call them now) knew about these things that were going on in the world, if they themselves couldn't participate in them, and thus addressed their interest in a way that made them accessible. It walked that delicate balance between being hip and being innocent very well. The celebrity interviews were great, in some ways even more honest than what you would get in "real" magazines because they were talking to kids and treating them seriously.<br /><br />Marvel briefly tried their own version of this style of magazine, called Pizzazz, which was a lot of fun too. And they had a Superman cover as well - maybe this is what you remembered?<br /><br />http://blogintomystery.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/piz16.jpgMarc Edward Heuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563779617157443811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-19181935942195040192014-11-17T21:31:52.200-05:002014-11-17T21:31:52.200-05:00I tweeted at Scholastic a few months ago to ask if...I tweeted at Scholastic a few months ago to ask if they had a secret archive of Dynamite and told them there's a lot of us out here that would love to see either a Best Of book or even digital downloads. All I got was a fairly standard "We'll pass it on to the marketing team."<br /><br />Somehow, I can't imagine they have any idea what I'm talking about.Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06438741309061958350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-33246253843036255332014-11-17T20:34:01.638-05:002014-11-17T20:34:01.638-05:00Thanks John.

That link didn't work but I found what I presume you're directing me to, and that does indeed look like the cover I'm remembering...but I'm remembering seeing it in grade school - in the actual school - and doubt anyone would've had it there. Could be wrong.
