    Default Comics mystery - can you identify this panel from the early 90s?

    LOOONG SHOT but can anyone identify which comic this image is from? Trying to help a friend. The accompanying Bullpen Bulletins (pictured) begins by wishing readers a happy new year and looking ahead to what happening in 1990:

    Can you get a higher resolution shot of the Bullpen Bulletins article?

    The weird thing is that I think I read the comic, but I was a teenager around that time.

    It references "The Death of the Incredible Hulk", which is the tv movie starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno in which the Hulk fell from a plane, landed on concrete, and died. The movie came out in February 1990, so this comic could very well be from 1989.

    Edit: I'm a knucklehead. With Stan Lee wishing people a Happy New Year, it's gotta be December '89 or January '90.

    I don't have the time right now to go through it. I was hoping the art would be immediately distinctive.

    If it helps, That particular Soapbox message has a cover date of April 1990

    That easily narrowed it down to Steeltown Rockers #1.

    Those are the wrong months. It'll be the issues released in December or January, not the ones with that as their issue date. This week's Avengers #6 is October dated but released in August, so assuming it worked the same way 28 years ago, we need to look at February and March 1990 instead.
