Welcome back to another Fabulous Find. I’m your host, Greg Turner, and this week I bring you a companion post to the Fabulous Find from two weeks ago. It’s the Paragon Pretty Girl Portfolio from Paragon Publications. Since both items came out in 1981, I’m not sure which one hit the market first, but I’m…
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 for a new RETRO REVIEW. Anyone following the Back To The Past auctions know that last Saturday, December 13, 2014, we auctioned off a CGC graded, 9.8, Hulk # 181 for over Eighty-two hundred dollars. So I decided I’d pull out my own copy of that issue and use it for this week’s…
Welcome, you’ve found your way to a new Fabulous Find and this week I’ve pulled out my collection of 1975 Topps Marvel Stickers. This set wasn’t the first Marvel card/sticker sets, but it was the first one I bought. There was an earlier card set from Donruss that came out in 1966 and then the…
Yes, indeed, it’s time for a new Fabulous Find and this week I’ve uncovered a copy of the early sixties fanzine, Alter Ego # 5. It was published sometime during the winter of 1962 – 1963, per the indicia on page two, but it likely went out to comic fans sometime in early 1963. This historic…
Greetings and salutations fellow comic book fans. It’s time for another RETRO REVIEW and this week it’s time to once again shine the spotlight on Marvel Comics. I’ve pulled out a book that features one of my all time favorite covers. And what is that comic? Glad you asked, otherwise this might have been my all…
Contributed by Chris Walker. Thanks to a friend of mine, I (your friendly neighborhood social media lackey) was able to get into a preview screening of Disney’s Big Hero 6, loosely based on the Marvel comic of the same name. The story follows boy genius Hiro Hamada and robotics prototype Baymax as they try to…
Hey gang, sorry to have missed posting last week, but it couldn’t be helped, as I found myself with an unexpected hospital stay. Everything is cool now, but could have been very, very bad. But with that said, let’s get right into this week’s Fabulous Find. This week I want to look at the 1970’s…
It’s time for another Fabulous Find and you’ve found it. I’m back this week with a cool find, it’s the Power Records first Spider-Man book and record set from 1974. It’s numbered PR10 and it’s the first in a series of 45 RPM records featuring super-heroes from both Marvel Comics, as well as DC Comics. Power Records…
Good day, mates. It’s time for another RETRO REVIEW, and this week I’m pulling a book out from the Marvel Comics Group from 1984. It’s cover dated; April 1984 and the comic is; The Marvel Fumetti Book # 1. Normally I’d be telling you who drew the cover to lead into things, but this cover…
