in bold type, the cover proclaims "an interview with steve ditko". in small type
above and below, it reads "we really wish we could claim this issue contains...
...but it doesn't, so we can't. sorry." a quick check of the indicia reveals that
this is an APRIL FOOL'S joke. (the joke, of course, being that ditko no longer
granted interviews, and that this would have been quite a coup if true.)

the magazine does, however, contain a full-page ad for the first volume of
THE DITKO COLLECTION from FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS
