Thursday was the great Jim Steranko's 82nd birthday! His style, his innovations, his craftsmanship, his dedication to perfection in comicbook art has made his name synonymous with great comics art (and book cover art, and magazine layout, and...). He helped usher in the Groovy Age (with his work on Nick Fury in Strange Tales) and still wows us to this day. Happy birthday, Mr. S.!

Supergraphics' (Steranko's) Comic Savers!
Here's one that got away from Ol' Groove--did any of you out there in Groove City fare any better? I'm rappin', natch, about Jim Steranko's Comic Saver comicbook storage boxes! He, through his Supergraphics company, had a Marvel-style design which he sold through FOOM Magazine...
...and a more "generic" style design (spotlighting his own character Talon, along with some Golden Age heroes, classic monsters, etc.) via outlets like the short-lived Atlas/Seaboard comics (this particular ad is from Demon-Hunter #1)...
For Young Groove, the timing was all wrong for mail-order as my family was moving from Ohio to Kentucky during the time Comic Savers were being advertised. My folks were afraid they'd be lost in the mail and I'd be out the two-fifty (that was TEN comics back then, baby). As I was searching for images, I found someone selling the Marvel one (autographed by Steranko) for a mere $299...
Anywho, Ol' Groove is curious about my Groove-ophiles' experiences with these beeyooteeful boxes! Share your Comic Saver stories in the comments, puh-leeze! And thank you! Pax!
