Since Friday falls on Christmas Day this year, I thought I’d offer up something a little different from my usual RETRO REVIEW and Fabulous Find columns. So simply, I thought I’d share some Holiday art from my favorite comic book publisher, Marvel Comics. First up is a panel from a Spider-Man book by Ross Andru:…
Time again for a new, or is that old, Fabulous Find? This week I’ve excavated another old fanzine from my collection. This one is an early one, maybe the oldest in my collection. And what is that fanzine? An excellent question, and the answer is that the fanzine is; Masquerader # 1, dating back to 1962. It was…
Welcome back for another edition of my RETRO REVIEW column. This week it’s time to pull a Marvel Comic book from out of the vault. So after digging around for a while, I’ve unearthed; Kull The Destroyer # 11, cover dated November 1973. The Kull comic book had been around since 1971 when the first issue…
Welcome back true believers. This week it’s time for a new Fabulous Find. And since I’ve just recently completed my set of the 1966 Marvel Donruss Super Heroes card set, I thought that this would be the perfect time to shine the spotlight on them. This set of cards is the very first set of…
This week, I’m looking at an independent comic book for my RETRO REVIEW. So digging around in that section of my comic vault, I’ve pulled out another little known (maybe) comic book. That book; Megaton # 1 from Megaton Comics of Elgin, Illinois. Gary S Carlson is listed as the editor and publisher. The comic sold…
It’s another Fabulous Friday, therefore, it’s time for a new Fabulous Find. This week I’d like to talk about the second volume of the fanzine known as: The Art Of Neal Adams Volume Two. This, like Volume One, was published by Sal Quartuccio, and it is dated 1977. Like the first volume that I featured…
Greetings to all my fellow comic book fans, be it here, at the Back To The Past website, or those that follow me on Facebook or Twitter. It is time, once again, to take a look at a DC Comics comic book. Therefore, this week, I’ve pulled out from the DC vault, a comic that…
Welcome back to a new edition of Fabulous Finds, brought to you by your host, Greg Turner. This week I’ve only taken a couple of steps over to my bookshelves and pulled out my copy of the 1978 limited edition hardcover book entitled; The Wizard King. This graphic novel is the brainchild of writer/artist Wallace,…
What time is it kids? It’s time for a new Fabulous Find, that’s what time it is! I’m glad you found your way back and for this week, I’ve brought up from the vault the 1975 oversized book entitled, Jeff Jones Idyl. It measures a large 11 by 15 inches and is published in glorious…

And to help you get into the mood of all things spooky I thought I’d feature a comic book closely associated with Halloween, Scary Godmother…
