It was nice to see a book included in the package for the first time in what seems like ages. A pity it had to be a quiz book and not one of the episode guides of old, They were worth getting and hanging onto. <br /><br />The new issue of BACK ISSUE is definitely STARLOGGED friendly and comes highly recommended. I've been looking forward to this one since it was announced. The romp through Marvel's movie adaptations of the period has a couple of omissions (which long-time STARLOGGERS should be able to spot) so I've dropped the editor a note.

I'm impressed that they kept it going so long.<br /><br />I stumbled across a sales chart the other day that had one of these in (I think) the top five for that particular month. From all publishers. Which clearly explains Marvel's enthusiasm for keeping 'em coming.

Among which were a Jack Kirby movie adaptation covered here :<br /><br /><br />http://space1970.blogspot.ie/2011/10/black-hole-1979-by-jack-kirby.html<br /><br /><br />According to the article, this was also published in France. The Mexican re-prints are also covered.<br /><br /><br />also out this week is the new issue of SFX with a striking trek cover in the style of ST:TMP. The SF QUIZ book is a nice and welcome addition even though it means a price increase.<br /><br />edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633073283427830809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-53103830449433205962016-06-21T18:42:44.725+01:002016-06-21T18:42:44.725+01:00is it just me or does this chap remind you of DIG...is it just me or does this chap remind you of DIGITEK ,the M-UK character from the 90's ?<br /><br /><br />or maybe electro from the spidey movie ?<br /><br /><br />http://marvel.com/news/comics/26315/introducing.mosaic<br /><br /><br />edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633073283427830809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-43496413519766916642016-06-21T16:10:43.245+01:002016-06-21T16:10:43.245+01:00I remember it being pretty 50 50 in terms of pictu...I remember it being pretty 50 50 in terms of pictures so there was a fair bit of beefcake to go with the cheese. they with the year books had some great fake ads that were very funny.
