Cracked Collectors’ Edition
Those Cracked Monsters
July 1980

/ Magazine Morgue / Leave a Comment

If you missed the first go-round of Cracked's For Monsters Only, here's your chance to get a taste of the zaniness with the cartoons, funny captioned photos, and monster comics that went for the yucks in those issues. The humor is give or take for me. The artwork is to die for, though, and it captures the monsterkid love with style.

Marvel-Con 1976 Program

/ Convention/Event Programs / Leave a Comment

I think I like the 1970s the best for comic collecting. That's when comics became sought after collectibles for real, fans became more earnest and knowledgeable, and conventions were more fun to attend because they didn't have moviemercials and had a more intimate atmosphere. Now its all glitz and blitz. And I had around 10,000 comic books in the 1970s.  Up to that point I had complete runs of every Marvel title. I also loved DC's Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen, but lost those issues when my basement flooded. I eventually sold my comics and retired. From collecting, that is.
