Marvel Requirer

The Marvel Requirer was a free promotional magazine issued by Marvel Comics from 1990 to 1992. It was an 8-page publication which previewed upcoming comics with a newsprint cover.[1] The exception was issue #33 which was actually 16 pages. Eight of these pages contained three origin stories of Spider-Man, Captain America and the Fantastic Four.[2] Each monthly issue contained details of all Marvel comics on sale within a particular month, as well as several articles. This title ran for 34 issues, after which it was replaced by Marvel Spotlight.[1]

## Tabloid Influence

[edit]

The publication was a satire of the National Enquirer tabloid, hence the name Marvel Requirer. The cover had headlines that were similar to the tabloids of the era. Some of the headlines included: "Teenage Vigilantes";[3] which was a promo for the New Warriors title of 1990, "My Hubby the Human Spider";[4] a promo for Todd McFarlane's Spider-Man # 1, and "Germ Warfare",[5] which featured an image of the Silver Surfer, who was part of the Lifeform cross-over in various Marvel Annuals during 1990.
