Bonjour, mes amies! or in good ol’ English, Hello, my friends! Why the French greeting, you ask? Well, why not, I answer! This week I’ve ventured into the D C Comics section of my huge back issue collection and uncovered The Brave and the Bold # 93, cover dated January 1971. The book features an…
Welcome back for another RETRO REVIEW, and this week I’m going back to an issue in the early Silver Age, with D C Comic‘s Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen # 72. This comic is cover dated October 1963 and sports a very nice Curt Swan and George Klein cover! The cover features a few of the many transformations that…
Welcome back to another Fabulous Find! This week I’ve gone deep into my basement and uncovered some of the 7-Eleven Slurpee cups, featuring D C Comics’ characters from 1973!

And that character? It’s The Spectre, from D C C0mics and the…

Welcome to another Friday! This week, I’ve pulled out Metamorpho # 2, from D C Comics. It’s cover dated October 1965 and is the third appearance of a relatively new character.
