In the words of Roy Orbison, I’m lonely and blue on a rainy, cold day in April, when it should be warm and sunny! But it brighten up my day, and hopefully yours, here is this week’s Fabulous Find. Lately I’ve been digging into my fanzine collection and so I’ve unearthed a nice fanzine for…
Hey there everyone! Time for a new RETRO REVIEW and this week it’s time once again to look at Marvel Comics. And with the movie doing so well, I thought I better select a Black Panther comic book, so I chose two, Black Panther # 14, cover dated March 1979 and Black Panther # 15,…
Welcome back to a new Fabulous Find. This week I’ve pulled out another terrific fanzine from my collection, it is The Golden Age # 2, published in 1966 by G.B. Love. Love was very involved in comic fandom during the early days and through the sixties. He is probably most well remembered as the publisher…
Greetings and salutations, all. Welcome to a new RETRO REVIEW and this week I’ve dug through the comic book vault and pulled out a couple of comics I forgot I even owned. They are Detective Comics # 569, cover dated December 1986 and Detective Comics # 570, cover dated January 1987. Both are published by…
I’m a little under the weather this week, so I’ve got to hurry this Fabulous Find, so it will be a “down and dirty” review of Abraxas # 1, a fanzine published in 1972 by Rickey Shanklin. It features a pretty cool cover by one of the great amateur fanzine artists that ever put pencil to…
Send up flare, or better yet, a rocket, it’s time for a new RETRO REVIEW! This week I’m looking at the magazine-sized Love and Rockets # 1 from Fantagraphics Books, cover dated September 1982. It’s a black and white comic book with color covers. And pretty much introduces the world to a trio of brothers, Gilbert,…
Hey ho, let’s go! I’m back with another new Fabulous Find this week and it has to do with that sixties Spider-Man theme song. I’m guessing that most, if not all my readers are familiar with that gem of a song. It was written and recorded for the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon/animated television show. It was…
Welcome, one and all, to a brand spanking new RETRO REVIEW, brought to you, as always, from myself and the good folks at Back To The Past. Hard to believe that I’m in my ninth year of providing content to their website. Time definitely flies when you’re having fun! But enough with the cliques, time…
I’m back with a new Fabulous Find for you. And this week I’m featuring the 1978 Milton Bradley – Marvel Comics’ Incredible Hulk Game with the Fantastic Four. The game is intended for ages 7 to 12, so there is not a lot of skill involved in this one folks, but it can still be fun…
So we meet again. This week’s RETRO REVIEW features an independent comic book from Dancing Elephant Press. The comic is Jack Staff # 1 and it is cover dated April 2000. The comic was created, written and drawn by writer/artist Paul Grist. Or as it says on the interior of the front cover; Paul “The…
