Start Peddling Boy Wonder!

Christmas Wishlist 1979
This is one of my more cherised items, a Christmas wish list I created in 1979 clipping items out of the Sears catalog. As you can see the Mego collecting bug was strong even then and I still can’t spell millenium. As I recall it was a pretty great haul and yes, I got a […]
Superheroes or Monsters?
Technical issues still prevent Forgotten TV from happening today (It will return next Sunday) so I thought I’d show a page from something I’m working on, the 1980 Ben Cooper halloween costume catalog. While Hulk and Red Skull work as masks, the Batman and Spider-Man are somewhat creepy thanks to the materials used. How old […]

Moonbase Alpha Sleepwear
Somebody asked me recently if I’d ever seen these and at that point I hadn’t, so I hope he’s reading. Space:1999 was a big influence on me as a kid but I can’t imagine my kids watching a serious one hour long space drama. I guess that’s why you don’t see “Stargate SG1” pajama’s today.Links […]
It’s the JLA!
That’s right the Junior Lotharios of America are springing into action! Gentleman, Lock up your daughters.
