Overstreet’s FAN
was a monthly magazine devoted to comic books, character collectibles,

it tracked the world of collectible comics. Feature stories were often
included, as well as interviews and reviews from some of the hottest
industry stars of the time. Columnists included Neil Gaiman, Frank
Miller, Beau Smith, and others.
Among the key feature articles were "Superman vs. Aliens" (FAN #1), an interview with Batman artist Kelley Jones (FAN #2), extensive Staman coverage (FAN #6), the end of Sandman (FAN #8), and many others.
Just skimming the surface, some of the characters and titles

Wars, Stray Bullets, The Big Guy, and Rusty the Boy Robot, AstroCity,
