More Calendars! Marvel from 1979-80

Doug:  Last week I showed some pix of my calendars from 1976-78.  Today I move ahead to the next two years -- which concludes my Bronze Age calendar collection, and even better yet -- we got a new camera!  Now, lest you get big heads and think, "Gee, this guy is really in our corner!  Talk about above and beyond!", I have to tell you that this has been a long time coming.  My wife does a great job of scrapbooking our sons' adventures.  Lately that's not been so easy due to the nature of our old camera's oft-blurry output.  You have only to check out last Sunday's post to see what I mean.  So, this week I'm still showing off .jpg files (again, my scanner simply isn't large enough to do the calendar images the full-frame justice they deserve), but I hope you'll find the overall quality much higher than last week.  My old eyes think so, at least.

Be on the look-out this time 'round for such Bronze Age stalwarts as Johnny Romita, Jack Kirby, Gene Colan, John Buscema, and Herb Trimpe.  But also keep an eyeball on George Perez, Jim Starlin, Walter Simonson, Frank Miller, John Byrne, Keith Pollard, and Ron Wilson -- you won't be disappointed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marvel and DC Calendars: 1976-78

Doug:  Our good buddy David_b dropped us a note last week to say he's itching to buy some of the Bronze Age calendars, but was having a hard time finding any images that might encourage his bidding.  So, since I happen to have six calendars down in the Batcave, I am going to provide some .jpgs over the next couple of Sundays to help him out.  Of course, the rest of you who are curious can peruse these gems as well.  Enjoy!

Disclaimer -- our camera is terrible; 90% of the time the pictures come out blurry.  Couple that with a hand I'm not going to claim to be steady, and I have to report that I had to leave several months out -- believe it or not, the images below were the good ones!  If my scanner was larger, I'd have done this the right way.  But I still hope you'll get a kick out of what I have to show.  Thanks for your understanding!
