And who or what is this Wizard really--a disembodied head, a blazing ball of fire, or something stranger still? You won't know unless you buy it. 32 PGS./All Ages …$3.99 MARVEL ADVENTURES SUPER HEROES #9 Written by PAUL TOBIN Penciled by JACOPO CAMAGNI Cover by ROGER CRUZ A PENNY SHORT IS A DAY SAVED: In a time long gone, the Ancient One fought a tremendous battle against the Dread Dormammu, ultimately banishing the ruler of the Dark Dimension back to his own reality by power of a mystically binding contract.
