Oh wow! I love the old ten ounce refillable pop bottles! I have a custom built pantry in the kitchen dedicated to my small bottle and milk glass collection. Here are some pictures from ten to thirteen years ago:

Cool! Freddie Poe, a very good posting buddy and hardcore vintage monster item collector, lives near Brimfield and sets up a booth at that flea market. But I've never been there myself.

Wow! Those two chaps are boss! I remember admiring a Great Garloo in the downtown Kresge store in 1961. I pointed it out to my mother but at a price of Cdn.$12.99-$14.99(?) it was a definite non-starter. Great stuff! I covet an Ideal King Zor and Odd Ogg even more than I do a Great Garloo these days.

From "Ghost Ship of Space" to "Ghost Mountain Midnight!":

Mmmmmm! Another truly luscious damsel in distress by the legendary Alexander Toth!

The redraw:

Well then here's another green clad villain wielding lightning bolts against a hapless do-gooder:

Did you not find it painful to entomb the very first comic you bought in hard plastic?

All very cool Walter Lantz titles! Here's a scan of one of the very few movie related titles in my collection:

Back to green, are we? Well then here's a (very poorly drawn in my opinion) green villainess:

I agree. It's Stan Lee we should blame for that whole relevance to college kids thing.

You're correct. I found that painfully true.

Big deal. Donovan's Sunshine Superman released in July 1966 contains the delightful lyrics "Superman or Green Lantern ain't got nothing on me".

And he doesn't get nearly enough praise for that because that was quite an achievement in and of itself. Out of the dozens and dozens of comic book companies in the late 1940's, the only other ones that survived until 1960 were DC, Dell, Harvey, Archie, Charlton and ACG. Had Stan Lee as Editor-in-Chief not kept Atlas/Marvel going by dint of his own efforts, there would have been no "Marvel Age" of comics in the 1960's for fans to bicker about assigning the credit.

Well if you want something unearthly, I can give you Unearthly Spectaculars!

Tough gig this business of super-heroing. After a hard day spent contending with super villains, there's still the necessity of dodging projectiles flung by hysterical women:

What a useless Search function! Even searching within this thread the function only deigns to search one year.

Back to green heroes:

One green villain to two green heroes:

Mmmmm! Love the GGA! Who drew that cover?

A pox on all the speculators, flippers ad pikers. I hope they all lose money.

Wow! You must be making big bucks for more Flash comics! What's your business?

Since I've posted every Flash comic I have scanned in this thread at least once, I'll repost only my very favourite cover: Plus this Flash Giant that I couldn't find on the stands as a kid but got me into collecting Giants of any title when I finally scored a copy in the late 1990's: Plus this house ad which as a kid filled me with a palpable longing for all the Flash issues I didn't have (still does): Plus the 1977 DC Calendar "Flash" page: My Fleer Flash Tattoos: And finally this record sleeve rendered by Neal Adams just because: I hope you fellows don't mind.

Hmmmm. Strange indeed!

Wow! A 16-page comic section! I wonder whether it was stapled at the spine like a real comic mag?
