Marvel-Con ’76 Booklet

Fabulous Find Welcome back to another Fabulous Find!  This week I’ve brought to light the convention program book from the 1976 Marvel Comic Book Convention, held in New York City, entitled; Marvel-Con ’76! This was one of the last small cons before cons became a really big deal.  Quickly comic book conventions went from small…

DC Comic Book Foldees

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…

1978 Captain America Hand Puppet

Hey kids, it’s another Fabulous Find!  It’s been a while, so I thought I better pull out something cool this week.  So I’m featuring the 1978 Captain America hand puppet from Imperial Toy Corporation!  Here’s mine, still sealed in it’s plastic with an unpunched header card!

Comic Review: Scorpion # 1

I’m just back from vacation, but have no time to write up a Fabulous Find, or even do a quick new review, so I’m again reprinting one of my first columns from 2010.  I suspect many, if not most, of you have not had the chance to read it, so for your reading pleasure ……

Hello again!  It’s time for another edition of Fabulous Finds!  Number eighteen (18) to be exact, and this week I’ll be writing about the Marvelmania club magazine entitled, oddly enough, Marvelmania Magazine!  But the interesting story is that there were actually two separate number one issues!  Say what? Yep, there was a sixteen page trial run…

Fabulous Find # 17: The Voices of Marvel Record

Welcome back to another Fabulous Find!  This week I’ve pulled out my copy of the 1965 flexible record entitled; “The Voices Of Marvel”.  This was part of the 1965/1966 official Merry Marvel Marching Society membership kit.  Unfortunately, I did not join up back then, and therefore I do not have the rest of the kit, but I did…

Fabulous Find # 10: The Collected Trashman

Trashman is a rare underground superhero created and drawn by Spain (a.k.a. Manuel Rodriguez) who appeared regularly in underground comix and magazines from 1968 through 1985.  Trashman’s first appearance was as a full page serial comic strip in the New York City underground newspaper, the East Village Other.  After Spain moved from New York City to San Francisco in 1970, three…

The Heroine Addict Fanzine

This week I’ve decided to write about the fanzine, The Heroine Addict.  This fine fanzine, dedicated to Super-Heroines, was published beginning in September 1974, and ran till it’s final issue, #11, in the summer of 1977.  Actually it then became Heroines Showcase, but I’ll leave those issues for another edition of Fabulous Finds!  That version…
