My friend Corey gave me this shot (you can check out his awesome auctions here) and I honestly can’t ever remember seeing this cool toy before. What amuses me about it is while it appears to be from the 1970s, it seems to be based on the original film and not the Delaurentis remake. Which […]
I can`t think of a better way to kick off a month of celebrating Halloween than a review of the new book `Too Much Horror Business`by Metallica s Kirk Hammet. For those not in the know, Hammet is known to be a voracious collector of all things horror and comic books. More after the jump… I […]

The concept of nipple rings got off to a shaky start in 1977.

Somebody actually offered this for sale at the Megomuseum forums where I’m known to be, so it was rather serendipitous It’s pretty well documented that DC comics felt Manta was a little too close […]
