This will probably be the closest to a NSFW post I'll ever get here!

Cool Stuff: Original Comic Art!

I believe this will be an all-Superman edition this time around!



We start off with Nick Cardy's cover for Superman 259!

Cool Stuff!

This time around, we start off with some items from Mattel's Agent Zero toy line!



It looks like a regular belt buckle, but suddenly, it's a gun! Well, according to some, the cap gun would never work quite right on this...



It looks like an ordinary camera, but suddenly, it's a gun!



It looks like an ordinary radio, but suddenly, it's a gun!

Cool toys, eh? No way they'd make them these days.



Here's a Mexican lobby card for Irwin Allen's "The Animal World"!



A Mego Batman bank!

And now, the Barbarella parade of stuff... Geez, I hope I didn't just make this the Movie of the Week recently (I'm working ahead, doing all my "Cool Stuff" posts this time, then I'll go back and do some other kinds of posts, so I have no idea what Movie of the Week will be this week)!

First, lobby cards!







You could super-size that one, if you're lucky (try clicking it)..



Another one that might super-size for you...



Heck, just try clicking all of these... you never know!







Time for a couple of stills! I wonder if I use the phrase "Jane Fonda as Barbarella" if I'll suddenly get lots of hits on this post?





OK, in case you're not a fan of Barbarella, here's a few Batman items to tide you over until next time:



I really dig this 1960s cereal bowl, don't you?



Here's a rubber stamp that was used in 1966! I believe (but I could be mistaken) that when the Batcave Trophy Room gets under way, when I show this photo, I also provide the reversed, positive version of this!




That is one seriously cool Batman binder!



I suspect the Batman plate and cup in this photo weren't part of the same release, due to the very different art styles!

Much more Batman next time around!
