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…
Welcome back to another Fabulous Find! This week I’ve brought to the light of day, The Shadow Secret Society Membership Kit. And just what is the Shadow Secret Society, you ask? Well it’s a club started by Jim Steranko and his Supergraphics Publications. The very first mention of this club was a two page poster/center spread in the Steranko fanzine; Mediascene #…
Welcome to another edition of Fabulous Finds! Okay, so you might be asking, just why am I writing about a pop record from June/July 1965? Well, I could answer; because I love music almost as much as I love comics, or maybe even more! If there was any interest, I’d do a music column, sharing…
Welcome back to another Fabulous Find brought to you by Greg Turner! This week I’ve dug deep into my collection of cool things and dug out some H-O scale micro super-heroes based on the Marvel Comics characters! And what the heck am I talking about you ask? Well, hang on, and I’ll tell and show you!…
Welcome back to another Fabulous Finds (# 5)! This week I’m featuring one of my all time, personal, favorite, fabulous finds, The 1967 or 1968 Marx Marvel Super Hero Express Train. I’ve heard that this is considered the Holy Grail of Marvel Collectibles. According to the 2007 Marvel Silver Age Collectibles book by J. Ballman, it…
Hi, Greg Turner here, with Back To The Past Pop Culture TV, and I’d like to talk to you about those, by gone days, when the only thing featuring Marvel super-heroes were the comic books themselves. Or at least that was so until 1966 and 1967, when Lancer Books published six “Collector’s Albums”, reprinting some…
Happy Friday all! The weekend has arrived and also another edition of Greg Turner’s Fabulous Finds! This week I’ve dug into my basement wonderland and uncovered issue number five (5) of Jim Steranko’s Comixscene! It’s cover dated July – August 1973, and I purchased it at the 1974 Detroit Triple Fan Fair from Jim Steranko, himself! It’s the…
Welcome back to Fabulous Finds # 2! This week I want to talk about a 45 RPM record I recently purchased via eBay. It’s entitled; Nobody Loves The Hulk! and is done by The Traits! There is not a lot of information, that I can find, about the group; The Traits or this record. As everyone…
Rather than another Retro Review this week, I thought I might start a new column that will alternate with my Retro Review column and I’ve decided to call it Fabulous Finds! Though the column name isn’t set in stone, so if you’ve got a better name for this column, please let me know in the…
