The Thunder God!

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.

So Who's

'Hot'

 In Our Archived Blog Posts This Morning?

None Other Than...

Carolyn Jones

Once AGAIN! 

Regular Readers of our Blog know that I check our Blog Stats daily!

This morning once again it is Carolyn Jones time to be 'Hot' because this morning her archived blog post of 06-02-07 is reaching 13% of our blog viewership right now!

That is soo unbelievable to me! Of 2,500 archived blog posts that is the 'Hottest' Topic?  And she was  'Hot'  earlier this week also! I really wonder what is going on to make that blog so popular today and earlier this week??!!

Carolyn passed away several years ago, but not before she played:

The Mother of Wonder Woman, Morticia Adams  of 'The Adams Family, The love interest in Elvis Presley's 'King Creole' and 'Marsha Queen of Diamonds' in the 1960's Batman TV Show among other things!

He Was An

 Undercover Agent!

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!

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!
