Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Did a comic book cover call it 46 years ago?!? #Supergirl #Supergirlmovie #Superfriends #RamonaFradon (Super Friends #37, Oct. '80; art by Ramona Fradon) 041
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I love games like this! Thanks! Is one of the slabbed ones possibly Man-Thing #1? I'm still trying to figure out the others. 120
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I'll guess Batman Beyond #1 on the right-ish side. I'm less-ish confident about Absolute Batman #1 on the left-ish side. 120

Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 13/02/2025TV Listing of Yore: No, it wasn't sophisticated as Batman: The Animated Series; but it WAS Batman. "The New Adventures of Batman," with voices done by Adam West and Burt Ward debuted at 10:30AM EST #OTD in 1977. #Batman #AdamWest #BurtWard 041

Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 07/02/2025And looking at every black/white pic of the comics on every page; from "I didn't know they made THAT into a comic book," ones I had, ones I know I'd never get, and ones I'd stumble on while looking up the prices of Batman comics 050

Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 24/01/2025A comic book panel burned in my brain: #comicbookpanelburnedinmybrain 051
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Stay warm! "The Icy Fingers of Jack Frost" (Tales of Suspense #45; Sept. '63, cover art by Jack Kirby & Don Heck) 091
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 12/01/2025And the episode was "The LSD Story" with Michael Burns as Benji "Blue Boy" Carver! 010
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 12/01/2025The gold standard in '70s comic book ads: The Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle (Ideal) and Street Ball with Rick Barry and Dr. J (Spalding)! Art on the latter by MAD artist Jack Davis. 091
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Lots of snow in the midwest and southern US; be careful out there! (Teen Titans #24, V1 Dec. '69, cover by Nick Cardy) #teentitans #nickcardy 160
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025I could keep going but don't want to hijack this thread; thanks for asking about it. The last issue of ongoing romance comics and end of an era - Young Love #126 (July '77, cover by Bob Oksner & Vince Colletta). The cover capitialized on the CB radio craze of the time. #romancecomic 120
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Love Stories #150, July '73. Geez, I don't think the cover aged too well - or wasn't great to start with; chauvanism and kidnapping all on one cover. Plus an ad to GAIN weight on the back cover. 110
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Ah, what a cover teaser! "The Story They Dared Us To Print" - "Strange Girl" was one of the stories in Young Romance #197, Feb. 74. (Ads for a BB gun, a football game and a camping equipment set maybe was aimed for a young boys demo though?) 110
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025A shout-out to Charlton Comics. Just Married #94 (May '73, cover by A. Martinez and J. Zuniga) "David and Eileen" (he was Jewish, she was Irish) was a serialzed chapter story about their relationship; this was chapter 2 of 9. 110
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Young Romance #170; March '71, cover by Dick Giordano. "The Swinger"! Not sure if DC was endorsing hitch-hiking, but here we are. (I thoguht that Lily Martin looked like an older teen Poison Ivy and she changed her name in a one-off story, LOL.) 010
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Sorry I'm late to the party. I have a couple long boxes of romance comics. Here's a few; I hope you like them. First up, Young Romance #197; Jan. '69, cover by Nick Cardy 120
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 21/12/2024A comic book photo cover? Kinda rare. A comic book infinity cover? Kinda rare. A comic book photo AND infinity cover? WHOA - and Shazam #2 and Shazam #6 pulled it off twice in the series run. Art by C.C. Beck and Jack Adler. 050
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 20/12/2024The classic (and haunting) #MAD mini-poster, "Heads ... You Lose!" from MAD #165 (March '74) & reprinted on MAD Special #23 (Winter '77), art by Norman Mingo. 051
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 18/12/2024A salute to the two most iconic "spoiled brat" characters in film and televsion; Veruca Salt from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and Nellie Oleson from "Little House on the Prairie." In reality, Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca) and Alison Argrim (Nellie) are charming and delightful in person. 010
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 07/10/2023Comic Book of Yore: Yeah, you may remember Marvel's Crazy; but do you remember Spoof? Spoof #1 cover dated October, 1970; cover art by Marie Severin with parodies of Dark Shadows, The Mod Squad and Marooned. The title lasted 5 issues. 1133
Chris @btoandbatbooks.bsky.social · 07/10/2023Coincidentally, I just reread an oldie standalone fantasy story with a giant spider myself! 110
