It’s time for a new Fabulous Find, and this week I’ll be looking at the three issue run of The Gods of Mount Olympus in Ancient Mythology. The three issues were published by Quintessence Publications out of Spokane Washington in 1974. I could find no date on the first issue, but issue # 2 was…
Welcome back to 1 out of 5 – Would Recommend, where sometimes something seems like a great idea and then turns out not to be! In celebration of Jurassic World’s imminent release, we’re talking about 1995’s genetically engineered dinosaur movie, Theodore Rex! What’s The Plot? Tough as nails cyborg cop Katie Coltrane (Whoopi Goldberg) is…
It’s time for a new RETRO REVIEW this week, and from a company other than Marvel or DC Comics. So digging around I’ve come up from the comic vault with Heroes, Inc. Presents Cannon. The comic has no number and doesn’t even have indicia to indicate who published it or when. But it’s from comic creator,…

For today’s RETRO REVIEW I have pulled out my copy of The Adventure Of Jerry Lewis # 83.

While researching this item on the internet, I’ve discovered my cover is actually a second printing, rather than the first printing I thought it was. This was determined by…
For this week’s RETRO REVIEW, I’ve visited the Marvel Comics wing of my vault and come out with the Amazing Spider-Man # 129. This book is cover dated February 1974 and features the introduction and first appearance of the Punisher! Yep, that’s right, this is where it all began for all you Punisher fans out…
Thanks for returning for a new Fabulous Find this week. I thought I would again look at something I own that’s just a little bit different than just a comic book or a fanzine. So I’ve pulled out my copy of the 1977 Captain America game featuring the Falcon and the Avengers which was put out…
Hey gang, welcome back! It’s time for another RETRO REVIEW of a DC Comics book. So this week I’m looking at Superman # 233, cover dated January 1971. It features an iconic Neal Adams’ Superman image of him busting some kryptonite chains from around his chest with the words “Kryptonite Nevermore!” below the image. The…
