Okay, time for a new RETRO REVIEW, so I’ve dug out my copy of Plastic Man # 2, published by D C Comics, though they were known as National Comics back in the day, when this comic was published. Oh yeah, for the record, the issue is cover dated; February 1967, but it would have…
This week, we find ourselves in the D C Comics section of the comic book vault, found deep below my abode. And I bring up the 1st Issue Special # 9 for us to shine a spotlight on. It is cover dated December 1975, so it would have been on sale around the time of…
Happy Friday everyone! It’s time once again for another Fabulous Find! And this week I’ve unearthed another great old fanzine. It seems I get the most feedback when I pull one of these babies out of my collection to share with you all, so I think you must like and appreciate my posts when I’m…
Welcome once again to another Fabulous Find! This week I thought I’d spotlight one of my favorite fanzines, CPL, or it’s proper name; Contemporary Pictorial Literature!

The book in question is … Rip Hunter — Time Master # 18, cover dated February 1964. The original Rip Hunter series ran twenty-nine (29) issues, so this one is about two-thirds through…
Quite a while ago I wrote about the 1973 D C Comics 7-11 Slurpee cups and I promised that I’d be back with the 1975 Marvel Comics 7-11 Slurpee cups. Well, here I am and it’s time! In 1975 I was in college and working in the college’s bookstore to earn some extra bucks and…
As most of you know, I’m more of a Marvel guy than a D C guy, at least when it comes to collectibles, so I’m sure I’ve featured more Marvel Comics items than D C Comics items, simply because I have more in my collection. But this week, I want to feature a D C…
Hello again! It’s time for another edition of Fabulous Finds!
