Howdy friends and neighbors! I’m back with a new RETRO REVIEW this week. I’ve dug out Marvel Comics’ Micronauts #s 1 & 2, cover dated; January 1979 and February 1979. This comic book was based on an actual toy line by Mego Corporation. So, like the question; which came first, the chicken or the egg? In this…
Well when it rains it pours. First vacation interrupts my column and now computer problems cause a major slow down and eventual fix! But because of this, I’m running yet another reprint. But unless you’ve been here from the very beginning of my columns, I doubt you’ve read this one! So without further ado ……
I’m just back from vacation, but have no time to write up a Fabulous Find, or even do a quick new review, so I’m again reprinting one of my first columns from 2010. I suspect many, if not most, of you have not had the chance to read it, so for your reading pleasure ……
Almost forgot to post today, but I hope you agree that it’s better late than never! At least I hope you feel that way. This week it’s time for another Marvel Comics review, so I’ve dug out Strange Tales # 130, cover dated March 1965. And for those is the know, they already know that…
Hello again! It’s time for another edition of Fabulous Finds! Number eighteen (18) to be exact, and this week I’ll be writing about the Marvelmania club magazine entitled, oddly enough, Marvelmania Magazine! But the interesting story is that there were actually two separate number one issues! Say what? Yep, there was a sixteen page trial run…
Howdy folks! And welcome to another Fabulous Find! This week I’m going back into my 1960’s Marvel stuff and pulled out a couple of Marvel mini books from 1966. There were six books in the series, based on their Marvel Comic counterparts, but I’ve only managed to secure two of the six mini books for…
Face Front Fans! It’s time for another RETRO REVIEW. And this week I’m looking at the Fantastic Four Special King Size Annual # 3, from the summer of 1965! And yes, it really says that on the cover, see for yourself: It also boldly proclaimed that it contained “72 Big Pages”, but only 23 of them were…
Welcome back to another Fabulous Find! This week I’ve pulled out my copy of the 1965 flexible record entitled; “The Voices Of Marvel”. This was part of the 1965/1966 official Merry Marvel Marching Society membership kit. Unfortunately, I did not join up back then, and therefore I do not have the rest of the kit, but I did…
Welcome back to another Fabulous Find, number sixteen (#16) in a series, collect them all. Thanks for being a loyal reader and I hope you enjoy this week’s FF! I’m going back to the fall of 1976! That was a Presidential election year and featured a face off between, then current President, Gerald Ford, a…
This week’s RETRO REVIEW is Marvel Comics’ Captain Marvel # 17. The comic is cover dated October, 1969, and features a very nice Gil Kane and Dan Adkins cover. Not only does it show the good Captain Marvel front and center, but it also gives the reader another Captain, Captain America, that is, plus Bucky, well not exactly Bucky, it’s Rick Jones in…
