Thank you for finding you way back to this week’s Fabulous Find. But I should be honest, and say right up front, this post really isn’t about one of my finds, but simply a wish of Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my readers, friends and family. But in doing so, I’ve dug out…

RETRO REVIEW: DC Comics Presents # 62

Greg Turner — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 11:00:42 +0000

Time for another RETRO REVIEW for your reading pleasure! I believe it’s time for a DC Comics issue, so I have pulled out my copy of DC Comics Presents # 62, cover dated October 1983. Why did I pull this particular issue out, you ask? Good question, as it is far from a favorite issue,…

I’m hungry, but I need to write this week’s Fabulous Find. So maybe I should combine the two! This week I bring to you, the 1976 Marvel Lunchbox. It’s a metal lunchbox made by Aladdin Industries and it features Marvel Comics’ characters on all six (6) sides. Plus it’s got a cool, plastic thermos…

RETRO REVIEW: Giant-Size X-Men # 1

Greg Turner — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 12:00:01 +0000

I found myself wandering up and down the Marvel Comics section of my secret comic book vault this week trying to decide on just the right comic for this week’s RETRO REVIEW. The more I thought, the harder it was to decide, until finally, I came to the end of the row and reached the…

Fabulous Find: 1976 Marvel Bicentennial Calendar

Greg Turner — Fri, 01 Jul 2016 11:00:52 +0000

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…

Fabulous Find: 1977 Marvel Superhero Gift Pack

Greg Turner — Fri, 20 May 2016 11:00:29 +0000

Presenting a new Fabulous Find … this week, the 1977 Marvel Superhero Gift Pack! So what exactly is a superhero gift pack? Well, today it means a whole lot more than back in 1977. In 1977, the Marvel Superhero Gift Pack was simply an illustrated box/sleeve with ten different Marvel Comics in it. I’m not really…

Welcome back my friends to the fun that never ends (with apologies to Emerson, Lake & Palmer for twisting their song lyric). It’s time once again for a new Fabulous Find and this week I’ve dug in a deep, dark corner of my vast collectibles vault for something a little different. And what did I come…
