Just looking at the main page of the Advanced Iron site, where it says 'since 1993'.
So am I correct to assume that next year will be the 20th Anniversary of the site/zine?

Yep, that would be correct! Bill Egan started Advanced Iron almost 20 years ago (and I believe his Iron Fan 'zine predated that by a year or two, as well).
Holy crap! I first started contributing to AI in 1996...I feels old...

But seriously, Brent and I talked and now that the Editorial is done, I'll try to wrap up the SMR this weekend. After that, we'll give the zine a read through and try to publish from there. |

I'm curious: how many posters were even born when that site went live? I was a mere 12 years old in 1993, and I believe getting my first issue of IM around that time.

I was 23 then so my first issue proper (of his own title ) which then led me into buying monthly was #197.
I had been a pherrofile for a while before that though. I started reading Iron Man stories in the 70's in a UK
weekly called "Rampage".
Now I feel old!!!
