Dig it, Groove-ophiles! An extra-special B&W Wednesday for ya today! Not only do you get to see the fabled Mighty Marvel-Con 1976 booklet (to tide you over while you save up the seventy-five plus bucks it takes to buy a rare copy), complete with its Mike Nasser (now Michael Netzer) and Al Milgrom cover, its focus on Captain America and Jack Kirby, beginnings of John Buscema's art school, plus a new Spidey featurette by Tom Sciacca and Frank Giacoia and lots'a other cool stuff...
But wait, there's more! Here, direct from YouTube, are film clips from that self-same happening Ol' Groove wishes he could'a been at (t'was a looooooooooong way from Flat Lick, KY, baby)!
Thanks a gazillion, MisterX1964 and The Stan Lee Archive, University of Wyoming American Heritage Center!
Hey, as you can see, the autograph page in our promo-book is empty! If you were there at the Hotel Commodore in NYC back in April 23-25, 1976, sign in and tell us how it was!

As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!
