This week I’ve decided to write about the fanzine, The Heroine Addict. This fine fanzine, dedicated to Super-Heroines, was published beginning in September 1974, and ran till it’s final issue, #11, in the summer of 1977. Actually it then became Heroines Showcase, but I’ll leave those issues for another edition of Fabulous Finds! That version…
So, Thanksgiving is now in our rearview mirror, and we all know what that means, corporate America is going to start cramming Christmas down our collective throats in an orgy of materialism, decadence and greed. Surely there is no better way to celebrate (9 months late) the birth of a religious/philosophical leader who was avidly against these…
Welcome to another edition of Fabulous Finds! Okay, so you might be asking, just why am I writing about a pop record from June/July 1965? Well, I could answer; because I love music almost as much as I love comics, or maybe even more! If there was any interest, I’d do a music column, sharing…
Happy Friday! And welcome back to another RETRO REVIEW! This week I’m going a little outside the box and bringing to your attention the first issue of Chili from Marvel Comics, cover dated May 1969.

This week’s RETRO REVIEW looks at DC Comics’ Doom Patrol # 104, cover dated June 1966. It features a rare wedding in a comic book, between two comic book characters. But it didn’t make the headlines like the marriage of Reed and Sue (Storm) Richards or Peter (Spider-Man) Parker & Mary Jane Watson over at…
Hi, Greg Turner here, with Back To The Past Pop Culture TV, and I’d like to talk to you about those, by gone days, when the only thing featuring Marvel super-heroes were the comic books themselves. Or at least that was so until 1966 and 1967, when Lancer Books published six “Collector’s Albums”, reprinting some…
This week we’re looking at another cool Silver Age comic; Daredevil # 43 from Marvel Comics. It is cover dated August 1968, so it likely was on the comic spinner racks at the beginning of the summer of that year. The great cover, by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott, jumps out at you and grabs your immediate attention!…
