Here's the trailer:

Cool Stuff: Flash Gordon and Forbidden Planet!

Wow, Cool Stuff two days in a row? Can you believe it?



Here's box art for one of the 8mm home movie digests of Flash Gordon (I'm guessing it's the first serial)!



Here's a still from that first serial, too!



Believe it or not, the item above is a French Foto-Novel of Forbidden Planet! I don't believe that robot looks a thing like Robby!

Here's some Italian posters for Forbidden Planet:







I don't know if this was just a variation on the US poster, or if it was done for Canada or the UK!



Compare this title card to the poster above it, and you'll see what I mean... I thought the US posters had the same logo on them!



Here's the Spanish poster!

Next time: Battlestar Galactica Stuff!

Cool Stuff!

It's a variety of things this time around!



First up, here's a still from Dr. Who and the Daleks!



Here we've got the French poster for Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers!



Here's a Mexican Lobby Card for the same movie!

Next up, some Italian posters and photobustas (lobby cards) for Escape from the Planet of the Apes! Sheesh, given how often the Planet of the Apes series is showing up in the Cool Stuff posts lately, you'd think it was another Planet of the Apes Month again!













And we move from Escape From the Planet of the Apes to Fantastic Voyage!



French poster!



Pressbook cover!



Remember the live-action Filmation series Ark II? Did you know there was at least a Halloween mask produced for it? I wonder if there was a whole costume!

Next time: We start with Flash Gordon!

Give-A-Show Fridays: Dennis the Menace and Yogi Bear & Huckleberry Hound!

This wraps up the 1964 Red set!

By the 10's: Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos!

Time for another By the 10's, and this time around it's Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos, the war book for people who hate war books!



Issue 10!



Issue 20!



Issue 30 - Fury's as tough on shirts as Doc Savage is, eh?



Issue 40!



Issue 50!



Issue 60!



Issue 70!



Issue 80!



Issue 90! I believe about this time, the book went reprint every other issue.



Issue 100 - That's an awesome cover, could be a movie poster, eh?



Issue 110!



Issue 120!



Issue 130!



Issue 140!



Issue 150! I'm pretty sure around the time "Blazing Battle Action" got added on the top of the covers, the book was all-reprint!



Issue 160! I have to admit it, I'm kind of surprised the book lasted that long -- I didn't remember seeing it on the stands any more about this time!

Next: Li'l Genius!
