The Thunder God!
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Comic Book History

 

The Thunder God!

 

I noticed some activity in our archived blog posts that featured the Marvel Comics version of the Norse God Thor.

So I pulled out some more of our backstock of Thor comics and listed them today!

Journey Into Mystery #83 Is Where The Mighty Thor's Series Started for Marvel Comics back in 1962 as Marvel's distribution was limited to a certain amount of titles per month!

 

 

Journey Into Mystery #1 was published in June of 1952, and ended with issue #125 in February 1966.

The title was changed to 'Mighty Thor' with issue #126 as super-heroes had taken over all of the HoRRoR / MoNSTer books published by Marvel!  (Tales To Astonish, Tales of Suspense, Strange Tales, Journey Into Mystery.)

Mighty Thor went on for several more decades for Marvel before ending its long run and started over with a new #1 issue.

For back issues of The Mighty Thor or Journey Into Mystery where his first exploits were published.... just click on the top right picture to see our listings!

For those of you new to us, we have an ongoing pop culture - comics convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and please visit our blog again!

He Was An Undercover Agent!
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: TV Shows

 

He Was An

 Undercover Agent!

 

 

Colt .45, starring Wayde Preston, was a TV Show Series that ran from 1957 to 1960 on ABC.

Wayde Preston guest starred on one of the highest rated episodes of the popular TV Western Show 'Maverick' and thus gained the attention of the producer William T Orr.

Wayde went on to star in the first season before having a falling out with the studio during the second season. He returned for the final episodes of the TV Show just before it was cancelled.

Wayde played 'Christopher Colt', an undercover government agent, who had the secret identity of a traveling (Colt) pistols salesman. Thus the 'double entendre' of Colt in the series.

My interest in this show is mainly because of the cool comic book photo covers that Dell Comics ran as a tie-in. For some reason this was a show I don't remember watching much... maybe it on too late on a school night?? LOL!

Engineer Bill Collectibles!
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: TV Shows

 

Engineer Bill

Collectibles!

 

One of the earliest things I can remember from my childhood was when my dad who was in the Navy was stationed in Long Beach.

It was during that time that Engineer Bill (Stulla) hosted a kid's TV show on KHJ Channel 9 in Los Angeles.

He was a favorite TV show host during the 1950's and 1960's.

His show was broadcast on every week day about when school had been out for a while, with enough time to get home to watch his show.

What really stuck out in my memory was his 'Red Light - Green Light' portion of the show, where my brother and I would drink, stop, drink, and so on when he would say 'green light' for us kids to drink the milk out of the glass, and 'red light' to stop drinking!

Some of the things that stick in your mind don't always make sense years later, but it was here that I found that drinking and eating what's good for you was fun!

By the way, other local televised kid's shows of Los Angeles during that time were Sheriff John, Chucko the Clown, and Bozo the Clown.

I don't remember many 'National' shows that I watched during that time but one for sure was Captain Kangaroo seen in black and white format.  

I was recently emailed asking if we had any more Engineer Bill collectibles for sale, from a reader who saw my previous blog post on Engineer Bill. We don't, and I noticed there is a dearth of them on eBay! So anyone out there with some to possible list, let us know and we'll blog about for you!

Beatles Comic Book Going... Going... Gone!
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: Comic Book History

 

Beatles

Comic Book

 

Going...

 Going...

Gone!

 

On April 21st we had an email from an eBayer who had a comic book like the one to the right that they wanted to know the value of!

Since our 2,000+ archived blog posts are listed on search engines and blog directories, we are easy to find.  And we don't mind answering questions!

This eBayer had a copy of the Dell Beatles Comic Book with all the posters intact and wanted to know the 'value' of it.

Without seeing a scan of the actual item it was hard to know, but I pointed out to them the completed listings on eBay to see what the comic has recently sold for.

As a matter of fact, one copy was sold by a fellow dealer friend of ours close by in San Marcos, California for $77.64, while another copy was recently sold for $53.77!

So, we then received another email from that eBayer 'maddoxn' who had listed it on auction for only three days with NO Reserve! The item listing number was: 140226676443, and at the time of our post was then at the bid price of $1.00! However, eBay then proceeded to have a '10 cent listing day sale for Powersellers only' which flooded the market of listings for comics! 

Well, we are still pleased to announce that this copy, (which with writing on the front cover could not be any better than Very Good 'VG'), sold for $51.00!

Please note: We are not affiliated with this eBayer, nor had we seen the actual comic book or a large scan either. Just that this item is desirable by both Beatles Fans and Comics Fans! A cross-over collectible reaches more potential buyers!

For those of you new to us, we have an ongoing pop culture - comics convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!

Dell Comics are great collectibles because their photo covers are usually highly sought after by fans of the character(s) pictured on the front cover!

Please note: The above was NOT the copy of the Beatles Comic Book that is talked about in this blog post! There are seven photos on that listing to get a better idea of the grade of the comic book. Listing number is: 140226676443 for those of you interested in viewing it. (There does appear to be writing at the top right of the front cover which would keep it grading higher than a VG 'Very Good'. Note: I have not seen the actual comic, it could grade lower than that.)
