This issue was created in 1992 while Letterman was still on NBC's Late Night with David Letterman which aired at 12:30 a.m.. He did not switch to CBS, taking a 11:30 p.m. time slot until August of 1993. If Spider-Man was out at midnight he could still get home before Letterman started. Little things like that bug me.
Besides that, another thing which caught my eye was a note by Stan Lee at the very end of the comic of the day, which I'm sure was at the end of many Marvel comic books during Morbius: The Living Vampire #3's release. Stan Lee announces that a new X-Men animated series will be coming to the Fox network. The X-Men show in the announcement is of course the hugely successful Marvel comics show which ushered in a whole new comic book generation of buyers. I guess I assumed a new Marvel television show would be advertised in Marvel's comic books, but until today I had never seen the actual announcement. Just kind of a neat thing to read...for history's sake. Nerd history, of course.
On a side note...I hear Morbius was in today's issue, as well.
