  1. I hereby retract this , as I just saw it was already claimed on Page 2 of this thread...
  2. Agreed. I don't focus on Avengers books but I love my Marvel picture frames and more broadly, the "20-Cent" books.
  3. The plastic pieces have a phosphor based additive. Phosphor absorbs light energy from any bright source, such as sunlight or a lamp. It then re-radiates the light, but the intensity fades out over time as it depletes the stored energy. I think that fade out time was around an hour. These models were assembled with glue, so once assembled, the parts were not easily interchangeable. So you had a choice. Assemble them to glow, or assemble them to be painted to look more realistic.
  4. The model kits came with glow in the dark head and hands. Also included were the standard head and hands (non glowing), so you had a choice on how to build them. They did glow well, but faded out over time, probably after an hour or so.
  5. This is my favorite of the many Aurora Monster Model back cover ads. It ran on the DC issues of May 1970. I built all of these models as a child with the exception of the Witch and The Forgotten Prisoner. If this falls in the Silver Age rather than Bronze Age, then it can be struck from the thread...
