Time for another Fabulous Find! And this week I’ve gone to the fanzine section of my collection and pulled out All Dynamic # 5/6 from July 1970. All Dynamic was published by Dynamic Publications. And Dynamic Publications was Alan Light of The Buyer’s Guide for Comic Fandom, or later, just The Buyers Guide (TBG) fame. The…
Hey ho everyone! Sorry that I’ve been missing for the last two weeks. Hope you didn’t miss me too much. What’s that? You didn’t even know I was gone? Well, whether you missed me or not, I’m back this week, with a new Fabulous Find. And I’ve brought along the 1979 first edition book, entitled;…
Hey ho folks! This week it’s time once again to dig into the independent comic section of my collection. And I’ve come out with Planet of Vampires # 1, published by Atlas/Seaboard Comics and it has a February 1975 cover date. As most of you know Atlas/Seaboard was Martin Goodman‘s response to Marvel Comics for firing…
While searching for something else to feature in this Fabulous Find column, I came across a forgotten program from a local Detroit convention I attended back in 1972. It was called the Detroit Tri Con 1972 and it was a spin off from the Detroit Triple FanFare conventions held during the same period. It was…
Welcome to yet another RETRO REVIEW. This week I have pulled out my copy of Flash # 123 from DC Comics. It’s cover dated September 1961, so it would likely have been on the comic book racks in June of ’61, right as summer vacation began for kids across the United States. In fact, the…
I think it’s time for another look at one of my Big Little Books (BLB)from Whitman Publishing Company, Inc. of Racine, Wisconsin. So for this week’s Fabulous Find, I’ve reached for The Fantastic Four in The House of Horrors. It was published in 1968 in conjunction with Marvel Comics. Here’s the cover: The book has thick…
This week it’s back to Marvel Comics for a new RETRO REVIEW. And I have selected Sub-Mariner # 8 for this one. The comic is cover dated December 1968, which means it was on the stands likely in September of 1968, just as summer was ending and all of us were going back to school. It features…
And a good day to all my fine readers! I hope everyone is doing well and thank you for coming back for another Fabulous Find. This week I’m looking at the fanzine; Infinity # 1. It was published in the summer of 1970 by Gary Berman with the help of Adam Malin and Richard Anders.…
It’s time for a non Marvel and non DC Comics RETRO REVIEW this week, so I’ve dug through my boxes and have pulled out this Gold Key / Western gem of a comic, Doc Savage # 1, from November 1966. It’s features a great James Bama cover of Doc battling a snake! Take a look:…
Welcome back to another Fabulous Find. I’m your host, Greg Turner, and this week I bring you a companion post to the Fabulous Find from two weeks ago. It’s the Paragon Pretty Girl Portfolio from Paragon Publications. Since both items came out in 1981, I’m not sure which one hit the market first, but I’m…
