BREAKING NEWS…
…from The Comic Reader #87 (July 1972):
Well, kinda sorta but not exactly on the “Alex Olsen” tip there. That particular connection to this new The Swamp Thing won’t be established for another decade or so.
Anyway, don’t forget to check out the latest Ant Man news, from The Comic Reader #90, October 1972:
From the July/August 1976 issue, #133, comes this exciting news. NOTE: don’t hold your breath for it.
And finally, from May 1976, #130 of Thge Comic Reader comes the news that Marvel is working with George Lucas on doing comic book tie-ins to his Star Wars movie.
Well, we’ll see how that goes. My money’s on Logan’s Run, though.
I mean, they eventually published that artists edition of The Prisoner. It’s lovely!
These are cool.
It would be interesting to see what The Comic Reader had to say about the premieres of various independent comics: Witzend; His Name Is Savage; First Kingdom; Elf Quest; Love & Rockets, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; etc.
Also, the first issues of: Conan the Barbarian; The New Gods; Howard the Duck; Giant-Size X-Men; New Teen Titans; The Omega Men.
