Welcome back for a new RETRO REVIEW. This week I’ve gone to the bookshelf of comic magazines, off to the side of the comics vault, and pulled out Heavy Metal # 1, cover dated April 1977. This new magazine was published by HM Communications, Inc. and ran one hundred (100) pages and was sold for…
Welcome back to a new Fabulous Find. Hope I didn’t throw you off by posting RETRO REVIEWS two weeks in a row! This week I have not visited the comic vault though, I’ve gone into my record collection again and excavated a single, or if you prefer a 45. You know, one of those small,…
Welcome back, for the second part of a rare, two part RETRO REVIEW. Last week I looked and wrote about Justice League of America # 21, cover dated August, 1963 and this week I’ll be featuring the next comic book in the series, Justice League of America # 22, cover dated September 1963, which has the…
I’ve been featuring Marvel Comics for the last two months in my RETRO REVIEWs, so I thought I’d switch over to DC Comics, for a couple of columns, if that’s okay with you, my readers. So this week I’ve have pulled from the comics vault my copy of Justice League of America # 21. Then…
Welcome to another, though slightly different, edition of Fabulous Find. Rather than an old collectible, I’d like to bring to your attention something brand spanking new. Though it definitely has ties to something that happened over fifty (50) years ago. And what is that, you might ask? Well, it’s a new soft cover book written…
And as everyone knows, if it didn’t sell out, it would have likely remained on the spinner rack until late September or early October, before it would have been pulled. The cover is drawn by Jack “King” Kirby, with the inks likely done by Sol Brodsky. At one time it was thought the inks were…
Hale and welcome fans, friends and family. I’m back once again with a new Fabulous Find. This week I was rummaging around in the DC annex of the comic book vault buried deep underground my home. I’ve twice written posts on Marvel Comics Calendars, but this week I thought I’d feature my one and only…
Once again it’s time for a new RETRO REVIEW, and again I’m feeling the love of Marvel Comics, so I went back down, deep underground, into the comic vault and brought back up Avengers # 16, cover dated May 1965. It’s got a snappy Jack Kirby (pencils) cover that is inked by either Dick Ayers…
Welcome one and all, to this week’s Fabulous Find. I had to really dig through a lot of stuff to uncover this gem, dating back to 1977, it’s Will Eisner’s The Spirit Portfolio. It was published by Collectors’ Press, publisher, Richard Pryor, out of Carmel Valley, California. For some reason I find myself short on words, so…
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. While there, I unearthed a comic featuring another big, green, guy, but not the Incredible Hulk…
