Some might not know, surprisingly enough. The seller even has a couple others from that series listed including the Flash Comics 1 reprint (which I don't think had the reprinted glossy cover) and the  Whiz Comics 2(1) without the tagline "Gangway for Captain Marvel" on the bottom.

Definite reprint. Famous First Edition treasury-sized from the 70's with the outer cardboard cover removed.

 I still remember Robbie driving the transporter like a maniac early in the movie.

Yep, that scene sticks in my mind, too, along with him carrying the lead shielding - "The whole load hardly comes to ten tons."

And boy did that movie have some of the best painted space backgrounds of any of the great 50's sci-fi films. Classic all-around!

HI GAtor, the other day I picked up my third copy of The Flying Marvels paper dolls and the solo version, Flying Captain Marvel. I know these are fairly plentiful, along with several others like Captain Marvel Jr's Ski Jump and Musical Evening with Hoppy, as well as a few non-Marvel Family titles like Fun Farm and Comic Capers. I had always heard that they were part of a warehouse find many years ago. Do you know anything about the backstory? How many do you guess were found of each - hundreds? Thousands?

I wonder what the Flying Marvels would fetch had they NOT been found in quantity. It's a pretty cool display piece for something so widely available.

Thanks!

Good grief, RM, your cup runneth over!

And how many ways to Sunday can they rip off Robby? Every one you showed cooler than the next, and each with its own personality - some seem jovial, some menacing, and even a tragic or sympathetic one or two. Great stuff.

Picked this one up in San Diego. I'm really starting to like these Rudy Palais covers.

What's not to like?? Totally sweet pick up!

One of my favorite Avon one-shots. I can recall this making the color section of one of the first dozen OPG's. Great looking book!

Really cool to see those displayed so respectfully... as the amazing artifacts they are!

Thinking about all the mind-bendingly fun junk you have...how on earth did you ever settle on an avatar?

Good question! But settle he did and it perfectly suits his free-wheelin' (not Franklin) way, especially when he's in a mood to crack wise.

You know how they say people eventually look like their dog and vice versa? Robot Man is somehow well represented by a Japanese toy.

Wow..Photobucket...39.99 a month. I have not the foggiest idea how they believe they add any where near that kind of value. I'm guessing they are on the precipice of survival...There go my pictures.

The desperate throes of extortion.

So so so so so so so classic it hurts!

It's not just hyperbole: the whole book is an under-rated classic (to the extent there IS such a thing), and the top 1/3 of the book is the best of all time!! That's right. The BEST of all time!

Logo. Colors. Genre. Tagline. Photo inset. Right down to the last detail, like the tremble of the gun as it blasts the rats.
