I liked these things - you could draw on it, then pull up the plastic film and start over again.

Last night on ME TV, they played the very first episode of The Incredible Hulk and I watched it with my daughter! Next show was Wonder Woman which I have already gotten her addicted to. It is so great reliving my childhood memories with her!=D

Do you remember the Wonder Woman with Debra Winger as her little sister?

Two of my favourite shows when I was a kid.


And


I always thought Julia should have married Eddie's father. It would have been a win-win.


Hi ma'am.
The Courtship of Eddies father bought a tear. That was my husbands and sons song They just loved and enjoyed each other so much. I would hear John hum it to himself after his Poppa passed.
(Crud. I'm crying again.)

Peace.

I too would pack a lunch and take off to explore the world. Read under a tree. Go to the river and skip rocks. Yay!

We had one of these and it was so coooool.

You put a balloon on the thing , then you spin the spinner and you have to push the plunger-it inflates the balloon-the number of times. Soon the balloon is about to bust KaBoom!

Bought this same issue at a comic con back in the late eighties, early nineties, for twelve bucks. It was in lousy condition. The cover was a crumbly, potato chip consistency, flakey and wrinkled. But by God, I had it. Sold it for beer money in the early 2000s. Now all I have is a reprint.

Rock on.

Hey good lookin'!

A friend got me a ton of these. I have kids that don't like to read but love horror. I hook them up! Yay! (Heck. If I can get ONE kid to read...read anything? Maybe they'll go on to read other stuff as well.)

When I was a kid, we couldn't afford legs. We had to crawl 23 miles through snow every day of the year to get to school and back. Our day started at 4 am when Daddy whooped our arses outta bed and got us doin' the chores before'n we could crawl to school. We weren't allowed to have legs until the late '70s; that's when we got our first wireless. I'd heard of a new fandagled thang called tellervision, but never seen it 'caus all the folks around us was just as dirt poor an' savin' up for legs of their own.

Tell ya what, even people who hate to read, or hate comics, can dig a classic E.C. horror mag.

And if they can't, well ma'am, they ain't no friend o mine.
