A nice little report on comics and their increasing mass appeal and financial value back in the 70s. Anyone recognize the narrator? That voice is SOOOO familiar.

In the "markup" dropdown, where it's "using UBBCode" by default, choose "using UBBCode and HTML". Then paste the "embed" code copied from YouTube.

Given the number of comic book videos in the CBC archives, someone at the corporation must have been a fan.

I'd LOOOOOVVVE to get into those archives for all kinds of reasons!

It sounds a little like George Takei !

"[Comic fans] are very intense about what they like..." and apparently about their shirts

Seriously, very cool video! Love to find that kid and see if he still has the SuperBoy 1!

 

Can you imagine what would have happened if you showed up with a Uhaul full of mylites, bags and backing board back then, though? Seeing those stacks reminded me of some cons from the early 80's in Holiday Inn basements (and gave me the shakes).

too bad its so faded, impossible to see the artwork details, or identify the Action 1 for instance..

Yeah, me too.... It's amazing that any high grade copies of oldies even exist...

The Action 1 didn't have any black ink on the cover. Manufacturing error.

I'm sure this copy would be easily identified if it's in someone's collection.
