Loved these as a kid too! Sadly I never found them anywhere for sale in any stores. I came across them visiting the Passaic Book Center in their massive back issue boxes. Years later got the rest off eBay.

I remember when these Star Trek poster books hit the stands in ‘76. I was buying them and rotating out the posters on the bedroom walls. I vividly remember putting up the Tholian Web, so you know they dug deep for content. Thanks for sharing.

It's awesome when something just hits you and a flood of memories comes rushing in.

Here’s a couple more to jog those memories!

Since I finished the run, here's my Creepy 1-17.  I wouldn't mind getting a better copy of #1, but it will do for now.  And it was well worth the roughly $20 I paid for it... it's a horribly underrated book.

If it wasn't for the sentimental value, I might want to upgrade the #6... but it's the first Warren horror book I ever owned, found in a small used bookstore back in the 90's for around $3.  No other Warrens in the pile, but I did get some of the Ka-Zar Savage Tales and a few Marvel Previews... including the then worthless Marvel Preview #7 for the same $3 or so.  And that one was in much better shape than the Creepy #6.

I definitely want to upgrade the #17, and will probably track one down in the next few days since my tax returned showed up.  Was still well worth the $5 I paid for it a few years ago.

The original Goodwin runs on Creepy 1-17, Eerie 2-11, and Blazing Combat #1-4 are really the closest we ever got to an EC revival.  It's not that there weren't a lot of excellent issues later in the runs, but these early issues are truly one of the all-time great eras of comics.  I wish Goodwin had been around to contribute to the EC line; although I love the fact he did at least have a letter published in Weird Fantasy #21.

Today's topic: An almost forgotten magazine-sized series by one of the greatest comic creators ever:

Posted before, but I felt it deserved a repeat today.  Don't think I've included the back cover before.  R.I.P. Olivia Newton-John.

Ah yes, Xanadu, the film that ended Michael Beck's career, so quickly after "The Warriors" had apparently launched him into stardom.

Sad on all fronts.

It's "Finish the run, Post the run" time!

Didn't realize until now that the logo had multiple variations! I have this delight hanging in my living room in all it's glory! Maybe I can track down the fellow who painted it and get it's 'twin' done, as seen in the above posts!

But the movie was so bad it was good
