  • Remember those books, Rob? They had one issue that had a bullethole through the whole book and smelled of gunpowder! Oh, gimmick comics, how I love thee!

    • I grew up on gimmick comics.

      • My favorite one of those is the War Journal issue with the bullet holes in the cover. I think it was Romita Jr.

        It's still real to me dammit.

        • That's the one!

          I used to work for one of the companies that did the hologram covers back in the day. The same Spider-Man books I had at home were on display in the company's sample gallery. I even have a couple of "mother/daughter" shims used to make the holograms for the books. Wish I could've seen the original sculptures they shot from, but I was of fail.

          • I don't normally talk holograms, but when I do, I refer to the card collection I used to have.

            The Flair series, Marvel Masterpieces by Joe Jusko (still my all-time favorite), and the Marvel Universe series with the power rankings on the back. Those few were my pride and joy as a young nerd.

            • Is that the set with the Win/Loss info for each character? That shit made no sense and was as arbitrary as fuck.

              • I think that might have been the one to precede it, but I remember that one too.

                The Hulk got his ass handed to him more than I thought. 400/200 win-loss record. What the shit? Green Goliath is better than that.

                • Fuck I miss my Marvel Cards. Those first 3 series were AWESOME. Pretty sure my dad threw them away. However, he kept my "Desert Storm" cards. GEN. SCHWARZKOFP FOR TEH WIN.

                    • Only Marvel Cards I remember were Overpower cards.

                      Because I didn't give a shit about Magic cards.
