I was checking out a new collectibles shop nearby the other day (Patrol Dewback, I'll be back!) when I stumbled on the first issue of Pizzazz by Marvel.
There's a ton of fun stuff in it, but I thought I'd share just a few of my favorite pages:

You'd think Dr. Strange would be above card tricks, but I guess not. Also, that's not Dr. Strange in the photo...

...that's 15-year-old Jamie Schack who never lived that photo down.

Who knew Dr. Doom has such a sense of humor?

Find the answer on the Silver Surfer's crotch!

Not only is Ock is long gone, but he's apparently a giant now! Stay put, Spidey.

There's the cover for you...

...but the back cover is my favorite! Jack Davis!
And just to wrap things up nicely, here's a commercial for Pizzazz to start your week off right:
From 1979 Hallmark and Marvel come these super awesome superhero valentines!
You've got Captain America, Ms. Marvel, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and, my personal favorite, The Thing!
(And be sure to check out these 1966 Batman valentines and the SuperFriends Action Valentine Playbook as well as my valentine cartoons.)
Enjoy:












It's just a week now until The Amazing Spider-Man comes out, so to keep you busy until then, I thought I'd share this 1981 Spider-Man Mad Libs book! (Click the image above to download the PDF.)
There's a fun story with Electro...

...and one where Spidey fights the most horrible evil of all, costume odor!

Feel free to download, print, and have fun with Spider-Man Mad Libs!
Over the years I've been sort of a casual collector of superhero coloring books. Either flavor (Marvel or DC) is fine by me, as long as they're goofy. And,frankly, the goofier the better!
So when I find a good silly uncolored one on Ebay, I snap it up, scan it in, and share it here at the blog.
Here's some of my favorites! (BTW, click the images to download the PDFs.)
I've got more coming to share soon, but that should keep you coloring and entertained for a good while! Enjoy!
