1960s & 1970s Comics: High Style & Heartache

High drama and fun fashion from late 1960s and early 1970s comic books.

These items came from yet another sweet stash that was given to me by my friends

Noreen and Jimmy and while looking at them for the first time, I spotted an unexpected surprise.

Here's an interesting piece of Civil Rights Movement ephemera in the form of a letter from a reader:

Vintage Roulette: Comic Book Ads (1960s)

I still get a kick out of the fact that in the 1960s, dollhouses, patches, weight loss products, 

raincoats and weapons were all being advertised on the same pages of youth-targeted publications.

This makes me wonder how many Daisy BB Guns were brought into classrooms for Show & Tell.

Vintage Roulette: Comic Books (1957 - 1975)

Cartoon rabbits, mummies, ghosts, rockin' pussycats, hen-pecked husbands and romance…

What more could a person possibly want? Many thanks to Noreen and Jimmy for these gems.
