Halloween Department 1980
THIS is my happy place today. All those wonderful costumes on display are from the 1980 Ben Cooper catalog BTW.
Topstone. Not Just another pretty face
Let’s kick off Halloween talking about Topstone shall we? Topstone started marking masks in the 1950s, I mainly know them for their famous character art. this Wolfman was offered in comic books my entire childhood. The company closed it’s doors in the 1990s and Topstone masks are now highly collectible among passionate collectors. I still […]

Bachelor Man!
“The Adventures of Bachelorman” was supposed to be the third segment in the “Shazam Isis Hour” when CBS pulled the plug. All known copies of the series, which involved a man who had the amazing power of Macrame, were set fire to then shot into space, where they were again set fire to.
Review: Comic Book Fever by George Khoury
I own a lot of books by George Khoury, in fact this isn’t even the first book by him that I’ve reviewed on this blog and I don’t read much, so that’s pretty special. The reason I own so many, is that George and I seem to like a lot of the same things. His latest […]
Multiple Toymakers Planet of the Apes Playsets
Next to the wonderful toys by Mego, these Multiple toys Planet of the Apes sets are by far my favourites. I just recently scored one of my grails: For many ages I’ve been after this set, the combination of army men with apes totally reminds me of “Battle for the Planet of the Apes” (easily […]
