Five Best Wizard Magazine freebies
5. Mini Comics
Wizard was notable for including small or mini comics for the subscribers and fans. While they never gave full comics, a lot of times they’d include a mini comic promoting “The Avengers” cartoon, or maybe they’d have sketchbooks for events like Marvel Knights and or Earth X from Marvel. The comics were actually a lot of fun to read and if you were an art nut like me, they were great to help you learn the art form. I was able to take a lot of the mini-comics and sketchbooks and pair them with the actual comics as a sort of larger experience for the comic.
Imagine being an X-Men geek like yours truly, and opening up your Wizard to see your very own X-Men diploma in mint condition for you. This is yet another freebie from Wizard magazine that I still own to this day and have signed it with my own signature. It’s a wonderful bit of wish fulfillment for a comic book geek like me. It’s surprising that these were made relatively free considering the quality. I might have to finally frame the diploma.
Originally included in Wizard issue 76, Wizard included a blank Avengers ID Card that felt like a genuine ID Card, right down to the signature from then president Bill Clinton. I went nuts for this freebie when I found it in my Wizard magazine, and filled it out with my own original comic book character at the time. The ID is a wonderful memento and I still own it to this day.
