Anyone besides me remember Dynamite <\/em>magazine<\/a> for kids by Scholastic?\u00a0 I came across some old issues in a used bookstore and they really brought back memories.\u00a0 I simply had to pick up the one below because of my love for all things Estrada (Dynamite<\/em> #64, September 1979).\u00a0 I did some research on the magazine and was surprised to find out how long it ran – 1974-1992.\u00a0 Seriously?\u00a0 I had no idea it ran until 1992.\u00a0 I thought it was a late-70s\/early-80s phenomena.\u00a0 Additionally, it was founded by Jenette Kahn<\/a> who later went on to be the President and Editor-in-Chief of DC Comics.\u00a0 Wow, she was really connected to children’s entertainment back then.\u00a0 She’s responsible for several things I fondly remember.<\/p>\n

When I opened the magazine, my mind was completely blown as I came across the Dynamite Duo<\/em>.\u00a0 This was something I’d totally forgotten, and yet had loved as a child.\u00a0 The adventures of Nightglider and Dawnstar!\u00a0 After seeing this, I can now recall they had magic rings, but that’s about it.\u00a0 What a blast from the past!<\/p>\n

There isn’t a lot out there about Dynamite<\/em>, but you can find some information on Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n
