One of the boxes of comics I picked up recently had a whole collection of Marvel Age comics, which was Marvel's in-house promo comic in the '80s and early '90s, essentially - listing off upcoming series, interviews with creators, etc.
There's plenty of hilarity in the mag in general (like Stan Lee hyping about Spider-Man the movie, about 10 years before it actually happened!), but here's something neat - a mini-preview in 1991-ish for Epic's Sam & Max comic, which talks to the saintly Steve Purcell:
Looks like the comic reprinted on the page is actually from the Lucasfilm Games newsletter, since it stars the duo inside X-Wing Fighters and the like - lots of good quotes in there, sorry the scan is a little tricky to read in places - this is both for fair use and not-hi-res-enough-scanning reasons.
And you'll notice Purcell's good taste for co-creators, even back when Mike Mignola and Arthur Adams weren't quite so well known as they are now. Looks like at least one or two issues of the Epic comic came out, according to a handy Wikipedia entry - were there any more than that?
