Posted by The Beetle on 8/8/2005, 5:53 am, in reply to "Superpro" --Previous Message-- A small thing on this one, I'm, almost sure that there hasn't been a Marvel Premiere #82, not that I remember reading a Superpro story in Marvel Comics Presents #82, but I'm assuming that MCP is the right series, since MCP was running at the time of NFL Superpro, and MCP #82 sounds more right, am I right?
