Spider-Ben

Ben broke my month long drought of Superhero Mall Appearance Pictures with this terrific picture of him with Spider-man at Cavalier Square Shopping Center in Hopewell, VA. He notes this is probably 1978-1979. Note the cameo by Jerry Lewis. As you can see, Ben chose his attire wisely by wearing a shirt that I wished I’d […]

A Stereo Shop Far, Far Away

Francis sent in a pair of awesome Star Wars appearance shots this week, I’ll start with this awesome Chewbacca and let him explain. I thought you might enjoy these pics from 1978.

Nikita and Spidey BBFs!

Nikita sent in this cool image of her and her folks meeting Spider-Man,  It was taken on the Wildwood, NJ boardwalk in 1979. She wants us to note her dad’s manly beard and mustache. I have a beard too but his totally beats mine.. I’ve never seen a Spidey quite like this one before, I wonder what […]
