Hey ho, everyone, I’m back this week with a new RETRO REVIEW. Sorry that I was not able to post last week, but I was tied up with selling and buying property and frankly just ran out of time to write up a new post and then was away from a computer, so I couldn’t…

Glad you found your way back for this week’s RETRO REVIEW. Thanks for following my meager efforts! As I promised, this week I’ve dug deep, deep, into the vault, and I was back in the Marvel section once again.

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…

I think it’s time for another look at one of my Big Little Books (BLB)from Whitman Publishing Company, Inc. of Racine, Wisconsin. So for this week’s Fabulous Find, I’ve reached for The Fantastic Four in The House of Horrors. It was published in 1968 in conjunction with Marvel Comics. Here’s the cover: The book has thick…
