I can remember reading most of these, although I think a few of them I had to wait a few years to acquire as back issues. Luckily, here in Chicagoland, we had stores that specialized in comics early on. That Warlock cover is classic Starlin, but I'm not sure I can say the same for Robbins in that Invaders. I remember reading that issue over and over and asking myself: "is this art any good?!"PopKulturehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/popkulture/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-38487263074344449312010-06-24T11:52:11.749-04:002010-06-24T11:52:11.749-04:00Never thought of celebrating my..."ancientnes...Never thought of celebrating my..."ancientness" before, C.K. Thanks...I think. Awesome blog, btw! I'm a follower, now!<br /><br />Edo, Mike, SirWintery--glad to bring back groovy memories, dudes! T'was my intent. Mission accomplished! <br /><br />Andy, I share your love for B&W mags--but you already know that! Wouldn't you love to do a 39 page Conan or Hulk B&W masterpiece? I'd love to see you do a classic Star-Lord! Yowza!<br /><br />Mikeyboy, I just set the pic uploader to "small" and "none" (rather than left, right, or center) and load 'em up five at a time. <br /><br />Joplin John, DOtGK is here for ya, man, 24/7! 8 was the age I went nutso for comics.

I turned 8 the fall of '75, so I would've been the perfect age for all this great stuff. Last night I couldn't sleep, so I logged on and looked at each and every one of these covers; eventually, I went back to bed feeling pretty good.

So I could try & buy everything!<br /><br />Indeed this was a sad year in one sense. Beside's the constant price increases. My favorite monster B & W's & Marvel GS were all going away! Even though we got other great mags like Marvel's SF, adventure. Also DC's great giant 100 pagers, the New X-Men arrived! <br /><br />Even though they killed my second favorite New X-Men Thunderbird! GGGRRR!! Man I loved those Gil Kane & Jim Aparo beautiful covers! Plus those beautifully painted covers as well.

I thin...Wow, this brings back memories for me, too. I think I paged through my first comic books (an issue of Marvel Tales with Spider-man fighting the Prowler & an issue of Capt. America that I just can't remember) earlier that year (or late '74, not sure). By the summer of '75 I still wasn't following any series regularly, but I was haphazardly picking up comics with characters I liked and/or cool covers. The Marvel Team-up with the Beast is the first issue of that series I ever had, and I remember I was actually able to talk my mom into buying me that Secret Origins of Super-villains Collector's Edition. Meanwhile, a friend of mine had the Giant-size FF and Iron and let me read them. Great stuff!

But in seeing the covers of those wunnerful books you've posted, I can easily imagine hair-helmeted, burgundy-corduroyed me reading those in the hot Florida sun, with a Black Panther cup Slurpee by my side...<br /><br />BTW, a new blog with my own (meager) contribution to '60-'70s "culture":<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://neo-edwardian-hipster.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Neo-Edwardian Hipster</a>Abe Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991534345391655980noreply@blogger.com
