Pizzazz #1 – 1977 Marvel Magazine Highlights

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:

Pizzazz - Dr. Strange 1

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

Pizzazz - Dr. Strange 2

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

Pizzazz - Dr. Doom Jokes

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

Pizzazz - Silver Surfer Code

Find the answer on the Silver Surfer's crotch!

Pizzazz - Spider-Man Maze

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

Pizzazz - Front Cover

There's the cover for you...

Pizzazz - Jack Davis Back Cover

...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:

Marvel Superhero Valentines (1979 Hallmark)

From 1979 Hallmark and Marvel come these super awesome superhero valentines!

Spider-Man Mad Libs

Spider-Man Mad Libs

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...

Spider-Man Mad Libs 1

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

Spider-Man Mad Libs 2

Feel free to download, print, and have fun with Spider-Man Mad Libs!

Superhero Coloring Books

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.)
