It was super heroes or nothing. So no Westerns, war, Archie or Hot Wheels. Boy did I miss out. Great stories by Wein and Gill. Great art by Toth and Adams (# 6 was spectacular). Fortunately the older, wiser comic collector has expanded his horizons and now has all the Hot Wheels, as well as Archie, Richie Rich, western and war.keythd23https://www.blogger.com/profile/00690368680707726203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-13377864461705219752016-04-22T13:36:17.145-04:002016-04-22T13:36:17.145-04:00I notice the name Joe Gill as writer of the early ...I notice the name Joe Gill as writer of the early issues (and Dick Giordano as editor).

Hot Wheels are such awesome toys, I love the old classic ones and in recent years they've been knocking it out of the park with offerings like The Jetson's Car, The Flintstone's car, the Mystery Machine, Battlestar Galactica Viper & Cylon Raider and the 1966 Batmobile. <br /><br />Love these comics too, especially the cover of #6 Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a crazed criminal Santa trying to Run you down.<br />http://static4.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/0/4/10168-2465-11197-1-hot-wheels.jpg Kracalactaka!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11684026983386993722noreply@blogger.com
