David was kind enough to send in my first Mall Appearance shot this year (I seriously was starting to get worried) and they’re awesome. This time it’s from the summer of ’89, which of course as we all know belonged to the dark knight. This wonderful shot of David and his brother meeting Jack Napier was taken […]
That Neal Adams shot of Superman on the card art is some of my favourite pieces of the man of steel, that’s how I picture him.
I love a toy mystery but these rack toys based on pulp character The Shadow were driving me crazy, first, they looked almost exactly like Secondly, why The Shadow? It wasn’t like the character had a big presence in the mid seventies, even his DC title had been cancelled by this point. Fortunately, I met a kindly soul who […]
Bob sent in this incredible shot of him and the caped crusaders at Sea World and an incredible story, I’ll let him explain: “An employee picked me out of the stands, ‘cos I was reading a gigantic “treasury edition” size comic book (reprint of the original Flash comic) that I bought on site.

As a kid, I was often baby sat by her on Saturdays while she worked in her store, this usually meant a trip to Woolco and a cheap “shut up toy” of this ilk. Upon buying this very toy, I […]
Time to take an indepth look at one of the more premium products made by Azrak Hamway, this time it’s the Batman Road Race set. Normally, AHI stuck to low cost rack toys and released the higer priced items through their Remco brand but occasionally they’d do a higher price point item like this road race […]
This is a new one to me, these Comic Hero kites from Remco were made in 1971, which was an odd year to be making Superhero merchandise seeing it was pretty close to the late 60s explosion. There are some pretty interesting things to notice about this line, first is the absence of Aquaman ( […]
