5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- Jack Kirby Sings, Space Sleeping bags, Spock Ears, King King Kite and ALIEN ATTACK!

70s Space themed Sleeping Bag (sponsored link) —

My friend Courtney found this gem. I love the vague Japanese influence on this, but I can’t figure out if it’s knocking off something or not.

Alien Attack Toyco (sponsored link) —

These came out in Canada when I was 11 or 12 and I had this one and AN AMAZING D&D styled one that I want to track down, just for the box. Inside this set is a playmat, some army men astronauts (which will be familiar) and small bootleg colourform aliens, which blew my mind. I love this set, own it and have even done a video about these below.

Aviva Star Trek Spock Ears (sponsored link) —

Aviva made some really cool bits of Star Trek: The Motion Picture merchandise that mostly flew under the radar probably because the film did not inspire kids to buy the merch and act out the movie unless you were weird, like me. In my defence, the Marvel comic around that time was pretty decent.

The Voices of Marvel Flexi Disc (sponsored link) —

I’ve both heard of and heard this (oof) record before, but I’ve never seen one ever. I imagine this is a real trophy for a Silver Age fan. No idea on whether the price is fair here, however.

King Kong Kite (sponsored link) —

Saying “King Kong Kite” 3 times fast is fun and helps reduce cortisol levels. Try it. Also, if they made it, they put King King on it.

1975 Mighty Marvel Mail Order Catalog

Mantooth — Fri, 22 Feb 2019 05:00:00 +0000

This wonderful package was likely handed to every attendee of the 1975 Marvel Comics Convention it includes a program which we’ll get into but it also includes the Might Marvel Mail Order Catalog.

This wonderful catalog features Marvel merchandise from Fleetwood, Mego. Durham, Aurora and more. The historical significance is that Marvel would eventually abandon the mail order practice and selling it to the man who created it, Ivan Snyder. Ivan would then move the business to New Jersey and call it “Heroes World”

The 1975 Marvel Mail Order Catalog is more fun than a Giant Sized Man Thing!

Colouring Book Theater: The Fantastic Four meet the Witch

Mantooth — Sun, 03 Feb 2019 14:21:00 +0000

Time to crack open another vintage colouring book and see the madness inside!

Fantastic Four Meet “The Witch”-1977 Whitman Publishing

Fantastic Four was one of my favourite comic books as a kid, the treasury editions quickly imprinted on my young brain and I was a fan for life.

My last take on a Fantastic Four colouring book was well, disenfranchising, so hopefully, this one is a little better. At least this one has Johnny and not Herbie the %$#^ing robot.

I already love the cover artwork with the three male heroes battling the titular Witch while Sue makes jazz hands.

Check it out after the jump and when you’re done, check out this other book from the series.

So the story begins with a UFO and the US military launching a missile at it. Turns out it’s a witch, I love how this kid coloured her green.

The Fantastic Four comes to the rescue and even the Thing questions the story by breaking the fourth wall.

I just want to point out that the art is kind of nice. This is a swipe from Kirby but it’s well done.

The Witch turns Reed, Johnny and Ben into various animals and sends them off into space because…Witch!

Seriously there is a page with a toad, a turtle and a firefly floating in the vacuum of space. I guess they’re dead?

Only Sue survives by using her powers, I don’t know if you should loudly announce turning invisible.

Sue removes the Witch’s Power Jewell and she shrinks down. I hesitated to post this photo because I just know it’s someone’s fetish.

The Witch returns the lads from outer space and they utter the kind of dialogue you expect from the World’s greatest comic magazine.

The story takes an even weirder turn when the Witch apologizes and explains her origin, she mentions that she was once beautiful and well, this happens. I don’t want any more looks into Ben Grimm’s brain thank you.

The Witch explains that some sort of alien evolved her into a Witch, which I’m pretty sure was an issue of “The Eternals”.

A piece of paper falls from the Witch and Sue discovers that the only way to break the “Space Creature’s Curse” is a kiss from The Thing. So is this some sort of space gypsy?

For some weird reason, the page with Ben kissing the Witch is an insert in the final page, did they have too many pages? Were they timid about showing a kiss? THIS IS GOING TO BUG ME!

Anyway, now the Witch is a buzzard and reunited with her and the Fantastic Four waves goodbye like idiots. Why did an alien curse a bird? We’ll never know and I don’t care, that’s a lie, this is going to haunt me.
