Greg Turner — Fri, 26 Dec 2014 12:00:34 +0000

Since this week is a Holiday week, I thought I’d make it easy on myself and present a Fabulous Find that didn’t require a lot of writing on my part and I stumbled upon the perfect find while filing away something else entirely. It’s the 1981 Pretty Girl Sketchbook published, as a one-shot, from Paisley…

Welcome back to another Retro Review! This week I’ve brought up from the comic book vault; Demon Hunter # 1, from Atlas/Seaboard Comics.

The Heroine Addict Fanzine

Greg Turner — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:00:53 +0000

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…
