Although Marvel and DC enjoyed huge portions of the superhero market, other publishers like American Comics Group tried to compete with characters of their own. Magicman was no doubt aimed at younger audiences than the hipper, angst-ridden books like Spiderman and the Fantastic Four, which resonated more with an older audience.

It's no wonder I found Marvel Comics so refreshing after gimmick issue after issue like this Adventure touting the wedding of two of the founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad. True to form for many of the DC offerings from this era, the couple actually did not get married and the whole thing was a ruse. Fool me once, shame on you.
