Movie of the Week: Invasion of the Saucer Men!

Cool Stuff: Buck Rogers Stuff!

Time to look at the first cool stuff of the year, and it's Buck Rogers time!



First up is this great poster for the Buck Rogers movie serial!




And next we have this classic Buck Rogers board game, with nice vintage-style graphics!



And finally, for this short "Cool Stuff" post, here's Remco's Buck Rogers utility belt! Even though it was supposed to be based on the then-current TV series with Gil Gerard, you'll note that the ray gun included with this is a variation on the Star Trek phaser!

Next time: Bullwinkle!

By the 10's: Flash Comics, Part 2!

Continuing with Flash Comics, as we enter the Silver Age!


Issue 110, and Barry Allen's on the job!


Issue 120 - I always found it curious that Kid Flash was the only sidekick (to my knowledge) who started out with a carbon copy of the costume his mentor wore!


Issue 130 - How could that have been a surprise story if it was blurbed on the cover?


Issue 140, as Barry faces... The Temperature Twins, Heat Wave and Captain Cold!


Issue 150, and Captain Cold returns!


Issue 160, an 80-Page Giant, featuring all the speedsters DC had (or at least, that they knew they had!).


Issue 170 - you just know Julie Schwartz had a hand in coming up with this cover concept!


Issue 180, and it seems that Carmine Infantino is off the book! I believe this is Ross Andru's work on this cover.


Issue 190 brings us an all-too-rare Joe Kubert cover!


Issue 200, Carmine's back on the cover for this special 200th issue!
