Two movies this time around, because I don't have much for the next two in line! First up, "The Animal World"!

Here's the second feature: The Ape Man! First, the trailer:

Cool Stuff!

Still looking at some cool Marvel character-related stuff!

msh_ghostridercycle.jpg

Haven't seen one of these pop up on eBay for quite some time... it's Fleetwood Toys' Ghost Rider motorcycle toy, and it's probably the single most expensive 1970s Marvel toy to buy, period!

msh_howardbutton.jpg

Get Down, America! My first wife had one of these Howard the Duck For President buttons.

msh_hulkbutton.jpg

Speaking of buttons, here's a 1960s Hulk button... and it's very difficult for me to figure out who the artist may have been, because it's so different from what I think of when I think of the Hulk!

msh_hulkgumballmachine.JPG

Interesting Hulk figural gumball machine here... could've used a bit more detailing, but I'm guessing this was offered pretty cheaply!

msh_hulkmodelmpc.JPG

I honestly don't think I remember seeing this model kit in the stores!

msh_hulkslidepuzzle.JPG

It's amazing how many of these slide puzzles I see offered on eBay that aren't even solved first...

msh_hulkslidepuzzle_poor.JPG

...although apparently if they're capable of solving the puzzle, the seller still can't manage to take an in-focus photograph!

msh_hulksmashupgame.JPG

This is a pretty cool game concept... in, oh, probably a year or so, I'll get around to posting some other photos that I've collected that show more than just the box!

msh_hulkstickers

Is this an odd grouping of characters to put on one Puffi-Stickers sheet or what? Three Hulks, one Daredevil and a Mr. Fantastic...

msh_hulktrain.JPG

Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you... that is, indeed, an Incredible Hulk train set. Stupidest Hulk toy ever? Maybe. Stupidest licensed character toy ever? Maybe. Some day, I will have to start a blog that just posts pictures of stupid licensed character toys

msh_makeminemarvelbutton.JPG

And now, we're back to the buttons, with this very cool vintage "Make Mine Marvel" button!

msh_marvelcomicsgum.JPG

I think I may have posted some of the art from these Gum Comics before, but I could be wrong... they could just be coming up in the future on one of the more focused blogs!

Next time around: Marvelmania Catalogs and More!

Give-A-Show Fridays: Peter Potamus and the Jetsons!

Cool Stuff: Original Comic Art!

Time for another round of original comic book art! You know, one of these days, I should probably just start a new blog that shows off comic book art...

batman180_23_moldoff.jpg

This time around, I start with a tier from page 23 of Batman 180, by Shelly Moldoff! It's amazing to think of all the comics art pages cut up like this, isn't it?

batman232_18_adams

Here's a classic page from a classic story! It's page 18 from Batman 232, by Neal Adams!

batman336_21_lopez.jpg

Here's page 21 from Batman 336, by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez!

batmanfam19_70_staton

Next, we have page 70 from Batman Family 19, it's the Huntress story (obviously) by Joe Staton!

batmanhulk_08_lopez

This is page 8 from the Batman-Hulk comic... unfortunately, the seller didn't mention the actual title or issue number, and unfortunately, I haven't bothered to find out what it is, either! But I'm guessing one of you faithful readers will chime in...

battleofplanets10_cov_morti.jpg

Here's something different... it's the cover for Gold Key's Battle of the Planets #10, and it's by Win Mortimer! Win had previously worked at DC and Marvel (most notably at Marvel on Spidey Super Stories).

battleofplanets11_cov_mortimer.jpg

Here's Win's cover for issue 11!

battleplanets9_cov_mortimer.jpg
And here's the cover for issue 9!

blackcat11_04_lee-elias.jpg

Next up, a golden oldie of sorts... it's page 4 from Black Cat #11, by Lee Elias!

bb092_27_cardy.jpg

Next, we're on to Brave and the Bold, with page 27 from B&B 92, by Nick Cardy!

bb039_05_kubert

Here's page 5 from B&B 39, by Joe Kubert!

captam141_cov_romita

Next up, it's John Romita's cover for Captain America #141, a landmark issue for me, as this was the first issue of Cap I recall ever having!

captmarv27_12_starlin

Moving on, here's page 12 from Captain Marvel 27, by Jim Starlin!

captmarv59_31_broderick

Next, it's page 31 from Captain Marvel 59, by Pat Broderick!

captam100_17_kirby

We're back to Captain America again, with page 17 from Captain America #100, by Jack Kirby!

And with that, I'll put this installment to a close, but there'll be more Captain America and more Kirby next time around!
