The first five issues sported a "flip-side" magazine that revived the fondly remembered 1960s fanzine "Alter Ego", founded by Dr. Jerry Bails and devoted to superhero comics. Former Marvel Comics writer and editor-in-chief Roy Thomas, who in the '60s had succeeded Bails as editor and subsequently purchased the magazine's rights, returned as editor of this new version, dubbed Volume Two. In 1999, "Alter Ego" again became its own magazine, which has continued past 100 issues.
