Hey, how you doin’? I’m back this week with a repeat Fabulous Find, looking at the 1975 Marvel Comics Slurpee cups. In 1975, I was a young man attending college and working in the college’s bookstore to earn some extra bucks and I discovered that the chain store, 7-11, was selling their slurpees in plastic cups…
Welcome back all, this week I’m once again going into the DC Comics annex of the comic book vault and I’ve pulled out the mini-series; Legends.

I know I’m a couple of days early, but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year before the year is over. 2017 has been a tough year on a lot of people, both physically and mentally, but we’ve manged to survive and get through it! Here’s to the new year, and I hope…
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…
