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…
Time for a new Fabulous Find and this week I’ve dug into my convention program booklets and pulled out the 1971 New York Comic Art Program. The convention was held over the weekend of July 2nd through the 5th. There were two Guests of Honor, the first, artist Jim Steranko and second, writer Gardner Fox.…
This week, I’m looking at an independent comic book. So digging for something unusual, I’ve unearthed, Tex Benson # 1, published in 1986, from a little known comic book company called, Metro Comics. Metro Comics seems to be the comic book publishing arm of S.Q. Productions, Inc., owned by Sal Quartuccio. S.Q. Productions was mostly…
Well, that just might be the longest title to a Fabulous Find or a RETRO REVIEW in the history of my posts. But since this post will appear just a day before Christmas Eve and two days prior to Christmas Day, it seems appropriate to share a Holiday themed find. So here ya go ……
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.

This graphic novel is the brainchild of writer/artist Wallace,…
It’s time for a new RETRO REVIEW this week, and from a company other than Marvel or DC Comics. So digging around I’ve come up from the comic vault with Heroes, Inc. Presents Cannon. The comic has no number and doesn’t even have indicia to indicate who published it or when. But it’s from comic creator,…
Welcome back to part two, in my two part, Fabulous Find column on the Witzend fanzines from Wally Wood and company! Though with issue # 6, Wally Wood is now only listed as the “illustrious founder” and the fanzine/prozine is now published by Ed Glasser and edited by Bill Pearson! Witzend # 6 I’ve owned my…
Welcome back for another Fabulous Find! This week I’ve pulled out the first five (5) issues of the fanzine, Witzend! The fanzine was the brainchild of artist Wallace (Wally) Wood. The first issue was dated the Summer of 1966 and issue five was dated October of 1968. As Wood stated on his “Statement of NO…
As most of you know, I’m more of a Marvel guy than a D C guy, at least when it comes to collectibles, so I’m sure I’ve featured more Marvel Comics items than D C Comics items, simply because I have more in my collection. But this week, I want to feature a D C…
