The "Official Proof you were a Comic Fan Prior to 1979" thread!

[Offbeat Archives]

Definite proof! Youngsters today wouldn't know what the heck a reel to reel is.

 

They got it made. Everything imaginable has a remote control now. *I* used to be the remote for the TV, radio, percolator, winter car starter, etc. At least I can sit on my azz now and feel justified.

Far out pics!

 

"Far out pics!"

 

That's all the proof you need to stake your claim as one of the old-timer crew.

 

Outta sight. Outta sight, man.

I'm digging this thread. Groovy! (Using my best "Greg Brady" voice) - Me too!

I remember my brother and I had the toy batmobile from the adam west batman show. We also had a big heavy plastic batman mask that fit over our heads like a helmet. It was actually painful to wear. I wish I still had it though.

I had that mask as well. It was pretty uncomfortable, but it was very cool.

 

I still have the Corgi Batmobile, with a repro box I got from eBay. Those Corgi cars were the best.

I was so proud of my '78 Hulk Ringer Tee that I wore it on school picture day...

While not a comic shirt this Wacky Package one does prove that I'm an old fart.

 

 

I also had the Batman helmet, with the cape. I still have the helmet somewhere but I beat the cape to death in my adventures. I'll have to get one of my parents to send me the Christmas pic when I got it cuz the cool box is in the pic.

Tupenny, it looks like you were in the newspaper at an early age. Care to explain the context? :shrug:

Never knew they made Wacky Packages shirts back in the day. Now I'm extremely jealous.

I just worked at a Reo Speedwagon concert and thought of all you psychically mature people.

 

Anyone a big fan?
