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…

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…

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…

Greg Turner — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 12:00:05 +0000

Well, that just might be the longest title to a Fabulous Find or a RETRO REVIEW in the history of my posts. But since this post will appear just a day before Christmas Eve and two days prior to Christmas Day, it seems appropriate to share a Holiday themed find. So here ya go ……

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…
