Saddened to hear that movie legend Sydney Poitier died on January 6th, aged 94. To paraphrase the title of one of his movies - to Syd, with love. What a star - respect.

The SUPER-HEROES COVER GALLERY OMNIBUS...

| Copyright MARVEL COMICS |
Several years back I published a Super-Heroes Cover & Image Gallery series, which included splash pages and pin-ups, etc., but I've decided to do a streamlined version (all in one go) of covers only, so that the post will be composed of full-colour throughout. This title was a great wee comic, lasting only 50 issues, but squeezing a diverse selection of Marvel strips for the discerning reader and collector into its relatively short run. If you bought this weekly periodical back in the '70s, refresh your memory of what you were reading then, and indulge your sense of nostalgia for things past. And if you've got a favourite strip or cover, then don't keep that info to yourself - share it with your fellow crazy Crivvies in our ever-lovin' comments section.
While you're casting your minds back and thinking of what to type, I must say it comes as a shock to realise that I wasn't long turned 16 when the first issue went on sale, and had only recently become 17 when the last ish hit the shelves. Almost a whole year of my life between those 50 comics, and feeling like nowhere near as far back as it was. Tempus Fugit - just where did my life go? It feels like I blinked and missed it. If only I could say I spent it on having a great time, but I just can't think of any particularly momentous, memorable moments to speak of. (There must be some, but I find it hard to summon any to the forefront of memory right now.) Any other oldies out there who lament the rapidity with which the years fly past, or am I the only one?
