I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down to watch The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes vol. 1 & 2 on DVD. The Avengers are one of my all-time favorite superhero teams. I have nearly 400 issues of Avengers comics, so I consider myself a reasonably dedicated fan. Iron Man and Iron Man 2 […]

As mentioned yesterday, I was a big fan of comic-related pins in the late-80s and through the mid-90s. Yesterday we featured pins from DC Comics, today we’re going to feature pins from Marvel Comics, independent comic companies, movies, and TV.

At the time, they were promoting the upcoming fall line-up of Saturday morning cartoons on ABC and NBC. Oddly enough I didn’t see an ad for CBS. Click […]
