Lee Goldsmith is on the cover, with a copy of the 1971 play he wrote, ABE (finally staged in 2009 in Quincy, Illinois, and available for production), plus there are short bibliographies of his work in comics and as a lyricist, a sample of his 1960s romance work for DC drawn by Arthur Peddy and the inscription on the copy of ABE he sent to RS.
Goldsmith is one of many passings noted in this issue, including Brian Augustyn, Vivian Berg, Anne D. Bernstein, Orlando Busino, Gerald Forton, Ron Goulart (with a cartoon Goulart drew in a book for RS), Mel Keefer, David Anthony Kraft, John Langton, John Paul Leon, Martin Salvador, Augie Scotto, Tom Veitch and Janice Valleau Winkleman.
Steve Ditko has a 1-page essay, "I Remember", about some of his memories of 1960s at Marvel and how they conflict with the stated recollections of Stan Lee.
"Lee ignores, denies in Excelsior! and other places, how we used to go over every panel of a story until he stopped communicating with me." -- S. Ditko
Only one letter of comment, from Bernard Brannigan on some recent publications.

Some proposals to unfinished work by the versatile Ernie Colon are featured this issue, with the front and back cover featuring character designs and profiles for a 1991 detective project called Voudou. Also featured are the beginnings of two novels, Sector One and Wayward, part of an outline for a comic with Todd Klein called Hardware and some discussion of a WWII comic with Robert Kanigher called Operation Tidal Wave. Looks like Colon's already varied career (including books like Arak, Richie Rich, Amethyst, Underworld, The 9/11 Report and Damage Control) could have been even more varied in the right circumstances.
