- A video from long ago when MTV broadcast from Marvel's offices for a couple of hours.
MTV put all the people with the long hair on screen. If you freeze frame at about 1:36 you can see my anglerfish devil-lock piece of hair cascading from my forehead. Those were the days!

So cool. Man, Marvel Comics from the late 70's through the early 90's were so good. Maybe it's simply nostalgia on my part, but I really loved that whole era. Thanks for posting, my friend.
It was fun era for comics!
I feel like I just died and went to heaven, where it's always the 90s.
+Paintballing Metalhead Heaven sounds like a cool place.
Mullets... Mullets everywhere... :))
+Bruce Solmiano The people's haircut!
Love that you have a sense of humor about the hair
All the long hairs got on camera. MTV certainly had a type!
When kids see mullets like that in 1980s period drama, they don't believe they really existed. I'm glad this footage exists to prove to them that this fashion was real.
1992 When MTV used to be cool
When Marvel was a dump and sliding down.
This is the coolest thing I've seen all day. Now I gotta hunt down all the issues you worked on and tell people "I know this guy". Lol
+Mercy's Little Show Production guys didn't get their names in too many comics but you can occasionally find mine is the "Special Thanks" section of a few collected editions. That and I was in an issue of Marvel Age. Someday I'm also going to have to show off my own self-published comic that a few artist friends and I did in the late 90s. That was not a great time to be making a small press comic I gotta say.
Comics, music & mullets oh yeah 🤘
It was the best of times!
Ah yes... The 1990s... Such a more simpler time...
Edward 1990s WAS NOT SIMPLE. IT WAS SUCH A BLAST.
The same era that gave us 'grim, and gritty' comics, and 'rockstar artists' with 'questionable' talent.
Wow, cool man! I love this! It's so 90's! Totally tubular! Cowabunga and so on...
No but seriously, thanks for sharing this fun little video with all of us Jared! Nice to see a peak into the past when things at Marvel were so very different. Man, there used to be a time when Marvel actually cared about the X-Men comics and used any means they could come up with to sell those books. It's mind blowing when you compare it to the modern Marvel that would rather sell readers anything but X-Men (or F4). How things have changed...
+Just Another Guy It really is amazing how much Marvel has changed since the early 90s. Totally different comics and a totally different place.
Wow. 1992! TV celebrity! You know the industry was tanking when MTV visited the offices. I'd forgotten how horrible the early 90's were. Really great clip Jared! Thanks for sharing. I'm sure you've heard it once or twice by now but, sweet do!
+comicKkrakK Those were the boom years! It's bad when MTV stops showing up! I had fun with my hair back then. Had my own set of buzzers and all.
Didn't realize that was you at first Jared! Soooo cool you worked for Marvel and have this to remember it!
+ComicHorder410 I barely recognize me from so long ago!
+Jared Osborn Yeah Jared, I would love to hear more in a future vid about your time and work at Marvel if youre ever up to it! Heres the Bleeding Cool article, they should credit you IMO:

I go to school currently for Digital arts but my dream job was to work for Marvel. I am supposed to go to New York City for the first time in MY life, I hope to see Marvel's headquarters if it's possible. I'd die a happy man. though I wish to work there. it would be awesome. awesome video by the way!
The used to give tours of the Marvel offices back in the 90s but I don't think they do anymore. But you can always check.
Jared Osborn that would be cool if they still do. I'll definitely check into it. thanks!
That was outstanding Mr. Osborn, I loved it! It must've been an absolute thrill when you first got word that you'd be doing work there. If you're going to be drawing Wolverine, you've got to have a cool hair cut!
+The Comic Book Aesthete It was a thrill and a bid odd too to be working there were the comics happened.
Awesome Vid Jared! Thanks so much for sharing! MTV 1992 are some good times! YOUR A ROCKSTAR MAN!
+AG Surfer Thanks!
+Jared Osborn - oh yeah- very cool hair 😎
Thanks for posting this bud, great stuff from the first comics investment explosion! Bleeding Cool just did an article on this and imbedded your vid (no credit to you of course). Hope it gets you a ton of subs though, take care buddy!
RIP Gru
This is cool! Around this time I was somewhere in my 9 month journey of hitchhiking and exploring with my mullet ;) lol
+Howlermouse Nine months of hitchhiking sounds like fun. At least in hindsight. I wouldn't want to do it now!
Very cool
Loved seeing Gru. Damn, lotta mullets. Good quality for VHS, unless they put it on digital sometime ago.
+janusredway I digitized that from an old VHS tape recorded right off the air. The quality surprised me. I think it looks better than it did on our old SDTVs.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing.
I wish i was in my Late-teens and early 20s growing up in the 1990s
It certainly was a different world before the age of the internet, smart phones, and social media. No one had a little screen to stare at or phone to talk on as the walked the streets of Manhattan or sat in Bryant Park. Now that's so common as to be unremarkable. And very few people had cameras and video recorders with them in daily life. Now everybody takes pictures all the time.
This was great! Only one guy without a mullet!
Time has only made you more handsome and imposing.
+sleepyreader666 Oddly my hair only got referred to as a mullet long after I grew it all out (it was too weird and punked out in real life to be called a mullet). I used to get miffed when people would say "You used to have a mullet" and point out to them that they were only calling it that because that was the sole name then knew for a man's haircut. That only encouraged them to laugh more so instead I started shouting at them "The mullet is the people's haircut and you big city snobs will NEVER understand it". After I did that a few times people never brought it up anymore. Sometimes reason doesn't work!
Hah.
Reason never works!
That video was worth watching just for the late Mark Gruenwald, alone. Too bad Stan Lee couldn't make a cameo.
You were very cool, Jared, and the nice girl thought so too.
Ha! She was paid to think so!
I loved ol' 387.
The late Mark Gruenwald---died from a heart attack in 1996.
An impossible person to replace.
Karyn Bryant needs to drop a Wolverine reference on ESPN when talking about the UFC during the pre or post show.
Wow brand new Red Hot Chili Peppers Under the Bridge awesome video,nice hair man!
+Dirtbag Jones I used to try back in those days!
If only Stan Lee was there for an interview to top it all off. ^v^
Ha! That would have been fun!
Ride that bubble, boys! Saturate that market!
+64PageSpecial Those were the BOOM years! Everything came up Millhouse!
+Jared Osborn Bless 'um! They could sell a foil-embossed ice cube to an Eskimo with deadly foil allergies.
There was no stopping it. People were buying every shiny cover they could find!
Because in the next few years, we're heading for bankruptcy. But who knows. Maybe one day, we'll dominate Hollywood.
2:06- he working on : Web of Spider-Man 088 (5/1992) release in 3/92...great times
Nice catch!
5:04 that’s what Owen Wilson’s Möbius was missing in Loki, a ponytail.
Ha! He sure was!
That was you who the lady was talking too? damn man, wow, how time has changed
+Daniel Mart I was the Jared she was talking to in section two. Growing old is a dirty trick!
+Jared Osborn well at least it took you a long time to get here.
+sarge td I just wish the view was better!
Captain America,,,IN SPACE! Cant wait for that film.
+Tiarnan Hamill It'll have to be as cool as that time Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos fought in space!
Now THERE'S a comic Linkara should review sometime.
i recognize some of these people from those bullpin comics.
Dark days for comic books and hair.
Now is the dark days for hair. Back then it was on point!
Why is she throwing shade? Where are they now?
marvel seemed so much more laid back then not so corporate and not so disneyish.
+CAM8689 Marvel got slowly more corporate after the bankruptcy court gave them to Ike Perlmutter. They lost all of this character by the time they moved out of this building in 2001.
Jared Osborn
I can definitely believe that
what was it with people and Mullets back then
The people's haircut! Big city snobs will never understand it!
... I think I'm in love with you! Very F'n cool, Brother!
+Comic Book Quizzinart Awww... you make me blush.
6:07 That’s where Paul Rudd got that,
"Wolverine is cool with that cover that had the wolves ripping through..."
"Wolverine is cool with... ...had the wolves ripping..."
"Wolverine is cool... ...the wolves..."
"Wolverine is... ...wolves..."
No.
+Kirk Buckendorf I wonder if I even knew what cover she was talking about.
+Jared Osborn I think you steered the ship back to right by saying, "with his claws coming right out at 'cha" ;)
I seem remarkably calm for the nervousness that was going on in my head. I had no idea she was going to ask me questions. They just asked if they could film me working but then all of a sudden I was part of the bit. My brain was going, "What the hell am I supposed to say?!?"
Wait a minute... women working in the Marvel offices 25 years ago? No, that can't be right. Gender inclusion is suppose to be a lamentable sigh on the persistently out-of-reach horizon, not something that has been ongoing for decades. This is making it hard for me to feel indignant... By the way, since 1991 I have remained captive to the belief that my 6th grade friend Nathan Timpson was the only person on the f'n planet who was unflinchingly bold enough to sport that hair. I now stand corrected. Well played, 1992 Jared. Well played.
+redvitaminblue You should have seen it when I wore a top knot.
+redvitaminblue I miss Gruenwald's presence at Marvel, but he does seem like he could have been one intolerable shmuck to work with/for.
He was easy enough to work with around the office. I can't speak for the individual creators he worked with but he generally had a good reputation.
@@Drizzt_Do_Entreri It wasn't quite that glorious.
Allowing MTV into Marvel should've been the omen that the comics industry was heading over the cliff.
Why weren't you offered a chance to win dinner with Michael Jackson?
It's obvious she has no clue who Captain America is.
The trials and tribulations you had to bear!
+Gore Vidal That brief and shining moment when comics were cool! Or maybe not...
Especially since this video was from the era of the 'rockstar artist', 'grim, and gritty' comics, and 'the speculator bubble'.
90's Kid: DUUUUUUUUUDE, The 90's were AWESOOOOOME! I just bought my copy of 'Bloodsport' # 0!
HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY mullet!!!!!
Also: "Under The Bridge" was brand new. Woooooooooow.
+LionelRGuy Back when haircuts had some personality!
*goes home to immediately set fire to any evidence of his childhood rat-tail*
😃👍
And you're a TV star too? What next? The world?
+Francis McMenamin Nope. It was all downhill from there!
+Jared Osborn what happened??
Life would not let me conquer the world!
Jared Osborn lol loved that soy sauce joke
Glad someone liked it because I don't think the VJ even noticed it!
nice mulett
+kurumais Only the best!
02:59 Bobo harras, el tipo que logro lo que ningun supervillano pudo: arruinar la gran franquicia Mutante
Very cool
