Okay, I decided to be nice and not make everyone wait for two weeks, for the second half, of this continued RETRO REVIEW. For those looking for my regularly scheduled Fabulous Find column, well, check back next week, as I’ve pushed it back so that I can offer up this column instead. So without further…
Welcome back! For this week’s RETRO REVIEW, it’s time to pull out a comic book from the Marvel Comics vault! So what am I feeling this week? How about an Avengers book, featuring our heroes battling the villain, Thanos? Sounds good to me, or should that be sounds bad? Anyway, this week’s book is Avengers…
Hello fellow comic book fans and welcome to another RETRO REVIEW! This week it’s time for another review of a comic that doesn’t come from the big two, i.e. Marvel or D C Comics! So I’ve dug deep into my collection and brought to light The Fly # 1, cover dated May 1983, from Red Circle (an…
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…
Well when it rains it pours. First vacation interrupts my column and now computer problems cause a major slow down and eventual fix! But because of this, I’m running yet another reprint.

Face Front Fans! It’s time for another RETRO REVIEW. And this week I’m looking at the Fantastic Four Special King Size Annual # 3, from the summer of 1965! And yes, it really says that on the cover, see for yourself: It also boldly proclaimed that it contained “72 Big Pages”, but only 23 of them were…
I Will Tell You #84: The Boys Are Back Two weeks ago, as you’ll recall, I wrote a piece on what was so wonderful about the onset of spring. If you don’t recall and don’t believe me, or do recall and want to relive the wonderment of it all, you can find said piece here.…
This week’s RETRO REVIEW is Marvel Comics’ Captain Marvel # 17. The comic is cover dated October, 1969, and features a very nice Gil Kane and Dan Adkins cover. Not only does it show the good Captain Marvel front and center, but it also gives the reader another Captain, Captain America, that is, plus Bucky, well not exactly Bucky, it’s Rick Jones in…
Greetings and salutations, my friends. For this weeks Fabulous Find, I’ll be talking about the 1967 Marx Marvel Super Heroes. I recently purchased a set at a Back To The Past Collectibles auction. Well, I won five of the six figures, but I quickly added the sixth, and final, figure via eBay, a few days…
