earlier. I was in high school, so no later than spring of '92. I’d put it at '90, +/- a year.
As a Spike Lee fan, I used to love this series of ads. Even though I was fully on-board the Marvel mutant train of that time, I read X-Men, not New Mutants, so I really only knew him because of the ad. At the time, I was around 15yo, I thought his style was cool. After studying drawing more thoroughly for a few years in art school… not so much.
