Nester & Max
Nintendo Power: Volume 285
My grandparents gave me a subscription to the Nintendo Power magazine starting with Volume 3. I was eight years old at the time, and I read this magazine multiple times from cover to cover while I waited for the next issue to come in the mail, at which point the cycle would repeat. One of the parts that I looked forward to the most was the Howard & Nester comic that was published in each issue for the first few years of its publication. Its 24 year production run has come to an end with the December 2012 issue, which includes this incredible comic from artist Bill Mudron (scans courtesy of Painted Pixels).
