SuperAdams!

From my collection: Acton Comics #419 from Dec. '72!  A GREAT Neal Adams cover which would be used many times; most recently on the cover for Entertainment Weekly!  The city scape background is a photocopy-Adams used this technique frequently, as did another industry giant, Jack Kirby!

Atomic Batteries to power!

This is one of my favorite Batman toys from the early 70's; the Simms Batmobile!  I remember my brother getting one for his 5th birthday. Superfriends was on the air and we played with it like crazy!

Star Wars!!

Love my Star Wars Storybook from 1979! Lots of great stills from the movie; one of the best ways to relive the film for kids in the late 70's. I read it dozens of times!

A CATchy cover!

From my collection: Batman #210 from March, 1969; Written by Frank Robbins interior art by Irv Novick and Joe Giella, with a cover by Neal Adams based on a layout by Carmine Infantino!  This was the debut of one of Catwoman's late 60's outfits, and was the one her Mego figure wore!

Giant Batman!

From my collection: Batman #176; Dec., '65. Released during production of the first season of the Batman television series, two reprint stories in this issue-"The Joker's Utility Belt" and "The Ice Crimes of Mr. Zero"- were adapted for the 5th and 6th and 7th and 8th episodes of the show, respectively (although "Mr. Zero" became "Mr. Freeze", as played by George Sanders...my favorite actor to play the role!).
