If you like weird stuff, early issues of The Defenders are like nothing else.
Omega The Unknown should’ve kept going…

I’ve always thought the Marvel title best representing the BA era was Marvel Team-Up. Usually teaming with Spider-man was a top tier character interspersed with relative unknowns. Story arcs were generally short and easy to follow. Not a great deal of experimentation involved with the title(one had to have been a Spidey fan), but always entertaining stories imo.
Avengers and DD hit high points in the 70’s and my personal fave being FF and the run up to #200 with good stories from Wein, Conway, Thomas, & Wolfman. -

Conan 16, 47, and 64 were all reprints or inventory stories caused by missed deadlines. Spiderman 116, 117 and 118 was an inventory story caused by a missed deadline. Avengers 136, 144-145 and 150 were reprints or inventory stories. I can think of one FF issue, 153, maybe? Black Panther's solo debut in Jungle Action #5 has him on the cover, but a reprint inside. Captain Marvel #36 is, as well. Iron Man, Ghost Rider,Killraven,Doctor Strange, Marvel Feature, even Sgt. Fury all missed deadlines. In the mid-70s, an unofficial title called Marvel Fill-in was started so they'd at least have new material for when a deadline was missed.
I've no idea why gower denies these issues happened, but it does illustrate his lack of knowledge of the era.
Collecting these fifty-plus accidental issues would make an exciting subset.
Would make an interesting subset. I was trying to remember some and recall Power-Man #29 was a one-off inventory story(“Mr. Fish”) and also FF #180 reprinted FF #101.

Received a box of books earlier this week from Bludriver and all were as described and priced accordingly. Strong & secure packaging and shipped promptly. I’ld happily purchase from him again.

I have no picture, and it's technically not a movie or TV show...but there was a comic book in Back to the Future: The Musical during the scene when Marty first meets his father in the diner (George is reading it). I was sitting waaay up in the mezz so no idea if it even approximated an actual period-accurate book, or which one it might have been. Marty also threw out the idea of using the time machine to grab a bunch of comics while in the 50s to bring back to the 80s, heh. Been a long while since I saw the movie, so not sure if those two references were there also.
From the movie not the musical, but “Tales From Space”, a mock-up made for the movie was used. Curiously GCD lists this.

Earlier received a small group of raw books to fill runs from Shark. All were as described and well priced. Books shipped promptly and were packaged safely for their journey. I’d be glad to purchase books from him again in the future.

I never understood this either. I watch a lot of IG sales streams and often there will be people selling slabbed random commons for like $25-40. At best maybe you make just enough to buy a Starbucks latte.
Speculators that missed their mark?

The episode was "Gomer The House Guest" (Season 4, Episode 6). I found a clip that contained it. Go to around the 4:45 mark of the following video on FB :
Yeah, you don’t see a front or back cover and it’s dark. That’d be tough to ID.

Last night I saw Gomer Pyle reading a comic book in bed on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show. Sadly, I couldn't make out what comic it was and didn't get a screenshot. I know, I know... useless post.
Do you know the episode or basic plot?

Do these both have barcodes on the cover? I think I recall seeing there were two versions of this book.

How often do you encounter comics with missing centerfolds?

60’s & 70’s era Archies often have Pin-up pages trimmed out of books. Easy to miss if you’re not counting pages.
