1983 “Videogaming” Magazine Cover Featuring Spider-Man and Tron

It’s almost as if this 1983 Videogaming Illustrated magazine was trying to predict the future! Disney’s Tron and Marvel’s Spider-Man appear together on this cover by Vincent Di Fate. We’ve looked at some of Di Fate’s cover work for this same magazine before (posted here), and the best part of the cover may very well be the description from inside the magazine:

“Two characters who would otherwise never join forces: Tron, the master program personified from the Disney movie of the same name, and Spiderman, the fallible superhero created by Stan Lee.”

None of us could have imagined at the time that there would be a day when Spider-Man joined the Disney worlds.
