I recently stumbled across this fantastic issue of Japanese Starlog, which was a lot like the US version, except its graphic design was way more exciting. This particular issue has a feature on all the imported Superhero toys from the US you can buy. So the best way to describe it is like a Heroes […]
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 […]
It’s been a long time since I did a CBT here at PlaidStallions but yesterday I found a treasure trove of books at a local shop including this gem. I love the Shogun Warriors colouring books because they’re kind of nuts but in a real good way. They were the creation of Canadian cartoonist Owen McCarron […]
For our 53rd show, we are joined once again by former Famous Monsters editor and current host of “It Came From Blog” Mr David Weiner (@TikiAmbassador) for a rousing two hour discussion on Walt Disney’s 1979 Science Fiction opus “The Black Hole”. The conversation talks about the film itself, the it’s origins and somewhat discordant tone, […]
As readers of this blog know, I have a fondness for comic multi packs especially the Whitman ones for things like Micronauts or the Shogun Warriors. That’s why this 1981 ad from coluring book publisher Parkes Run (more on them later this week) intrigues me. It seems that 1981, Marvel dumped Whitman in favour of […]
The Black Hole: Sticker Activity Book (1979), Whitman. This book is very dear to me, as a kid I got sick, “Miss a whole month of school” sick and my parents bought me a pack containing every Whitman Black Hole tie in to help pass the time. […]
The Lord of the Rings (1979), Whitman (Editor’s note Today’s submission provided and authored by Kurt, who has graciously us provided a glimpse into this neat book- Take it away Kurt!) I have very nostalgic feelings for Ralph Bakshi’s The Lord of the Rings. It reminds me of the Age of the Video Store – […]
I got a lot of nice mail over Krofft week and many folks wanted to join in! Seeing as most of you have better collections than me, it made sense to showcase them here today. Manuel has a great selection of Krofft borad games, I’ve never seen the Bugaloo’s one above. A lot of folks […]
UFO: Seeing is Believing Coloring Book By Whitman 1978 Another colouring book I found rummaging through Planet of the Stuff a couple of weeks ago. Not to be confused with the Gerry Anderson UFO coloring book we covered a few months back. Whitman had quite the little cottage industry capitalizing on the UFO craze in the late 60s/early 70s. […]
I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I last raved about my mild obsession with Whitman comic poly bagged 3 packs of my youth. I guess that’s because I haven’t across many deals and actually let some awesome ones slip through my fingers. Above is Shogun Warriors, while I never had any of […]
