It’s been a while since I’ve had a Mall Appearance submission (l’il help?) so I was happy to find this image of the Justice League of Sea World in my stacks. I never got to see this for myself, so I love getting images like this. I’ll never get over the inclusion of Mera into […]
In 1979, Kenner toys launched just a dandy line of action figures on a Western, “Butch and Sundance the early days” was a prequel to 1969’s mega hit “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” but without Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Instead we were left with Tom Berenger and William Katt (who would be a […]
I found this image in an early 70s Kenner catalog, at one point they were trying to market Charlie Chaplin to kids. I was aware of silent movies as a kid (mostly Laurel and Hardy) but this seems a bit of a reach to me, I guess toy buyers felt that way too because I […]
Take all the mystery out of the “Are you two together?” question, make sure everyone in the room knows she’s got your stink all over her…
Whalloping websnappers, ol’ Doc Ock is in for rough time tonight. It’s amazing to think that artwork of Spider-Man brandishing a fire arm was approved by somebody at Marvel. I wonder what wouldn’t pass? Spidey leaving a liquor store with a rosie in a skirt? No problem! The Spider-Man smoking kit? Why not?
Another addition to my ever growing obsession of Whitman poly bagged three pack comics, this pack from Star Wars is something I definitely had. I remember being supremely confused by these ancillary characters specifically the big green rabbit. In hindsight, Jax is probably less ridiculous than most prequel characters and I certainly can appreciate these comics as an adult. […]
It’s been entirely too long since I did an entry for Colouring Book Theater (coincidentally, if anybody wants to send in a Superhero Mall appearance, I’d be your friend) so I thought I’d do some new ones for 2013. The original Dune entry proved to be one of the most popular things I’ve done here […]
As much as I enjoyed my childhood, it sometimes pains me to think of the stuff we didn’t get, for whatever boring grown up decision. Sure, some of these licensed wouldn’t have sold and could have forced the companies into risky financial positions but baby Brian wants his toys dammit! Here are the top ten […]
I’m very proud to announce that the latest issue of Mad Magazine features a l’il blurb about my book Rack Toys. I was a pretty loyal Mad reader as a kid (only straying to Cracked for those Monster issues) and I’m pretty sure at one point my parents told me I was rotting my brain […]
