Hey everyone! Welcome back to another Fabulous Find. This month I’ll be taking a look at a fanzine from the Spring of 1969. So without further ado, I present Capt. Biljo Comics #1. The fanzine was written, drawn and published by Biljo White. It’s only sixteen (16) pages long and it contains a single, twelve…
As you can clearly see, Magilla is front and center and that’s the Pet Shop owner, Mr. Peebles’ who is slipping on a banana peel on the right. Sorry but I don’t remember the weiner dog’s name on the left. The game itself is pretty simple. In turn, each of two to four players spins…
Hey everyone, welcome to a new RETRO REVIEW. This week I’ve pulled out the cover dated, January 1987, issue of Superman # 1 from DC Comics. This is the, dare I say it, reboot, or renovation, of the Superman titles after sales had plunged and the Superman titles had languished for far to long. DC…

I’ve been in a Batman mood lately, and what says Batman better than some Neal Adams art! So I’ve pulled out Batman # 245, published by DC Comics and cover dated October 1972 from the comics vault. It is entitled; “The Bruce Wayne Murder Case!” and is written by Denny O’Neil, with pencil art by…
Welcome once again to a new Fabulous Find post. This week I’m sharing an old fanzine, though it’s a recent addition to my collection; Woweekazowie! # 2. This fanzine was published in the Fall of 1976. I am not entirely sure who the actual publisher was. In Dale’s Comic Fanzine Price Guide (2015 edition) it…
