Nice.

If I ever see some old Eerie Pubs magazines cheap at flea markets, etc., I grab them, they are so demented.

Can you post pix?

Warlord was also in a JLU episode (and even got an action figure in a three pack)

I was a big fan of Power Man and Iron Fist. Denys Cowan is underrated.

He also got a very MOTU looking figure from Remco back in the 80s, along with Arak and Hercules.

Yeah, they also did Crystar, a Marvel property.

The zebra skin panties are what does it for me!

Yeah, they even did an Arak Son Of Thunder figure in that line!

FYI, if any of your love TwoMorrows Publishing as much as I do, they are introducing a new magazine in the fall of this year dedicated strictly to Horror Comics history. I already subscribe to their excellent Alter Ego, Back Issue!, and RetroFan and it looks like they will hook me in on another of their excellent magazines. I didn't subscribe to Comic Book Creator because I figured I am getting enough comic history with AE and BI but I always struggle not buying old issues of CBC or subscribing to it. I mean, how much comic history can you print without getting into repetition...but these guys somehow find a way. Plus, magazines are so damn expensive nowadays. But I like supporting them because they put out such a quality product.

It is going to be called Cryptology. They have the covers and info on their first four issues already posted. Cryptology : TwoMorrows Publishing, The Future of Comics and LEGO™ Publications.

Twomorrows can seemingly do no wrong. Horror comics were my first love, and still my largest genre except perhaps superhero. I’m so in!

So here is a comic that I got around 1980 as a young kid while visiting the dentist. I couldn't wait to go back to the dentist but soon realized that I didn't get a comic book every time I went, unfortunately. Another very early comic for me. I was 7. I loved the cover art.

"A-ha! Some guy's laser drill! That's what's been keeping me back all these years! Now I am all-powerful!"

And not just any laser drill but a DENTAL laser drill!

Doctor Strange had some awesome covers over the years even though I was never a big fan as a kid. Wish I had been able to read this one back then.

At first I was going to say that Marvel based it on a toy line, like they did with Micronauts and ROM, but when I looked it up I found out that although the toys predated the comic, Marvel created the property with the purpose of licensing it to a toy manufacture, I did not know that! Trivia: Glenn Danzig "borrowed" Michael Golden's horned skull artwork from the cover of Crystar #8 for the logos of his Samhain and Danzig bands.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm in for that mag!

Anyone have any Dennis The Menace as a kid? I had a couple of the newer 80's issues and a couple of really old releases but cannot remember the exact ones I had at this point. I think several of the old issues I had were coverless.

See, the lesson here is never let Dennis near a garden hose. He will menace it.

Wow - I wasn’t a huge fan of the character when I read the newspaper comics every day as a kid, but I remember buying that first Marvel issue when it came out. I wasn’t a collector at that point (that started about a year later) – I just had a small stack of entirely random and well-worn comics on my bedroom shelf, mostly books I picked because they had artwork I wanted to copy while teaching myself to draw throughout my entire childhood. The Marvel Dennis comic was more likely picked up because it was a “1st Collector’s Item issue!” rather than a source of artistic inspiration, although it absolutely served as the basis of a similarly gardening implement-inspired ‘Mr. Wilson finally gets his revenge’ cartoon that I drew several years later, in Ketcham’s style, when my both my drawing skills and my interest in horror movies had matured quite a bit

Yup, yup, yup! Was a big Dennis fan as a kid. Mostly the books, as I recall, and clipped the strips from the paper for a while. My brothers pick up a few of the Giant comics, which I thought were great, and eventually started buying the comics myself when I got old enough. Still have a few short boxes of Dennis comics, and a buttload of paperbacks.

Oh wow. Totally forgot about the paperbacks but I had several of those as well.

Examples (not mine):

I don't think I ever had any Dennis the Menace books (I read it daily in the newspaper, though), but I did have a lot of Peanuts collections. Mass market paperbacks, trade paperbacks (big, thick books I got at K-Mart, I think one of them was called The Beagle has Landed, and one big thick Treasury hardcover book I got at a yard sale.

I was sort of obsessed with Peanuts at the time, and I read every book I could.

In addition to Dennis the Menace, I also remember Family Circus MMPBs at the local grocery store. I also read that strip, but don't remember getting any of the books.

Pretty sure I had at least two large-format softcover books. I know I had Beagle Has Landed, and Summers Fly, Winters Walk looks and sounds familiar, too.

I have lots of "funnybooks" I got when I was a little kid (Dennis the Menace, Archie, Sad Sack, Casper, Richie Rich, etc.), but I no longer read those in my later teens when I started really collecting comics. Although I did collect the paperback compilations of newspaper strips (Dennis, Peanuts, Blondie, Andy Capp, BC, Tumbleweeds, Funky Winkerbean, etc. - basically any I found cheap in thrift stores, and/or used book stores).
