That's from Paul Collins' look back at Omni magazine over at Slate.com. I never read Omni, though judging by the demographic description and timeline, I should have. I guess all my allowance was going towards comic books and baseball trading cards back then. Heck, I can still remember when I heard a college physics professor talk about an "unstopable force meeting an immovable object" and I thought, Wow, he read X-men #137. Impressive.
