Welcome to yet another RETRO REVIEW. This week I have pulled out my copy of Flash # 123 from DC Comics. It’s cover dated September 1961, so it would likely have been on the comic book racks in June of ’61, right as summer vacation began for kids across the United States. In fact, the…

DetailsI think it’s time for another look at one of my Big Little Books (BLB)from Whitman Publishing Company, Inc. of Racine, Wisconsin.

DetailsWelcome back to another Fabulous Find. I’m your host, Greg Turner, and this week I bring you a companion post to the Fabulous Find from two weeks ago.

DetailsBonjour, friends, fans and followers and anyone who has just stumbled upon my post. It’s once again time for a new RETRO REVIEW. And this week it’s time for the spotlight to shine on DC Comics. So I’ve pulled out a rather strange example of changing the status quo on a book from the late…
DetailsSince this week is a Holiday week, I thought I’d make it easy on myself and present a Fabulous Find that didn’t require a lot of writing on my part and I stumbled upon the perfect find while filing away something else entirely. It’s the 1981 Pretty Girl Sketchbook published, as a one-shot, from Paisley…
