you've posted 2 different titles between the subject line and body, but only MCP has a #96. I did google and other comic database searches, and the vast majority of databases say it's Feb 1992, like CPG has it. Comics.org says 1991 but no month, and they're not always right either. marvel.com has it as Jan 1 1991 PUBLISHED date, but when you click 'next issue' it has ALL them as Jan 1991, so clearly that's wrong all the way around. the marvel wiki says Feb 1992.
going back a few issues on comics.org, they have #92's "on sale date" as OCT 29, 1991, so the PUBLISHING date would be later, but those were put out bi-weekly and comics.org doesn't have on sale dates for the next few issues, so hard to tell if their info is correct or would match up for following issues. mycomicshop has #90, 91 and 92 as published Dec 1991 (possible, given that some months can have 5 'weeks' for printing dates), #93 & 94 as Jan 1992, and Feb 1992 for #95 and 96, which would make sense. they're usually right, but not 100% of the time.
so going by the previous issues dates, 1992 appears correct, so what makes you think it's 1991? does it say that inside? while not impossible, it's hard to believe so many sites would have it wrong after 28 years, don'tcha think? it may have come OUT in Dec 1991, but the publishing date that CPG goes by would be 1992.

these are FLIP COVER books. turn it over, and boom, there's the cover CPG uses. each side has a different cover and character(s) story, and the title is just Marvel Comics Presents, everything after that is just characters involved in the stories. You have Marvel Presents in your subject line, and that's a different title, but you have it correct in the body. CPG only chooses to show 1 cover of these flip cover comics for the most part.
I forgot own it too, so checked the indicia and it does indeed say Vol.1 #96 1991 (no month stated), so note to CPG if they want to amend the year, but nearly everyone else is using Feb 1992 for the 'cover' date/year even tho there's no month on the cover. might have been printed at the end of Dec 1991 so Marvel went by that for the indicia. so you're half right

GoCollect has the date listed as November 11, 1111. So don't go by that date!
