With one or more pages by each creative team doing monthly titles of each character shown in the story, such as :

Frank Miller / Klaus Janson on DAREDEVIL,
John Byrne on FF,
Gene Day on MASTER OF KUNG FU,
Bill Sienkiewicz on MOON KNIGHT,
Bob Layton on IRON MAN,
Sal Buscema on INCREDIBLE HULK,
Ron Wilson/Chic Stone on MARVEL TWO IN ONE,
Brent Anderson on KA-ZAR,
Steve Leialoha on SPIDER-WOMAN,
John Romita Jr. on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN,
Kerry Gammill / Ricardo Villamonte on POWER MAN/IRON FIST,
Marshall Rogers / Austin on DOCTOR STRANGE,
Bob Hall and Al Weiss, from their two separate runs on AVENGERS,
Mike Zeck / John Beatty on CAPTAIN AMERICA,
Don Perlin from his long run on DEFENDERS
Dave Cockrum back on X-MEN,
plus two gorgeous pages by Michael Golden, and pages by many others.

With the whole crazy thing scripted by Fred Hembeck.
This was definitely representative of the fun spirit of Marvel at its best in this era.

There was plenty of other assorted craziness at Marvel, such as WHAT IF 34.

And "Assisant editors month" that had some other Hembeck contributions.
For me the other highlight of the fun stuff at Marvel was the artist jam and silliness in X-MEN ANNUAL 7 (1983), primarily by Chris Claremont, with art by Michael Golden, Bret Blevins, and a holy host of artist-jam penciller/inker combinations.
