As cool as homemade Darth Vader’s and mall Spider-Men are, you gotta love a vintage picture of a star signing in costume. That’s why I pretty much exploded when Derek (the man responsible for this awesomeness) sent me this pic of 1975 era Tom Baker in full timelord regalia in Debenhams, Plymouth. I’m soooo jealous […]

Jon sent in this terrific picture of his brother Ryan encountering a rather home made looking Lord Vader at Karber’s camera store in Hamden CT. I think the chest panel is from Phantom of the Paradise. Where is Jon you ask? Well, he informs me that he was too scared of the Dark Lord and […]

Sea World Superheroes The Movie!

Oh my stars, I am happy man today thanks to the wonderful person who posted this video of his family’s trip to Sea World in 1979.
