Hi gang! Glad you all found your way back to my humble post. This week it’s time for another RETRO REVIEW. So, a couple of weeks ago I was rummaging around in the Marvel Comics annex of the great comic book vault and unearthed my copy of Marvel Premiere # 3, featuring Dr. Strange, Master…

It’s time for another new Fabulous Find. And since it’s been quite a while since I focused on those great Marvel Comics calendars (in fact it’s been almost four years, see my post, dated August 10, 2012), I think it’s time to look at the second one, from 1976, I bring you The Mighty Marvel…

It’s time for a new Fabulous Find. Woo hoo! This week I’ve found the 1976 Mighty Marvel Superheroes Fun Book filed away on my book shelves. It’s a Fireside Book , published by Simon and Schuster. It is actually written and illustrated by someone named; Owen McCarron. Though to my eyes, some of the artwork is culled from…

Salutations friends and family! It’s once again Friday, and that means it’s time for another Fabulous Find!

It’s basically a forty-eight page…

Mighty Marvel Calendar for 1975

Greg Turner — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 11:00:23 +0000

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…
