Thanks. Do you wanna be my agent? 'Cause I dont have one.



That Lobaton cover's a mistake. When I decided to do a Lobaton cover I googled "Vietnam 1968" and that famous Pulitzer prize winning "Napalm Girl" photo came up. Sometime after I finished that cover, I decided to google "Napalm Girl " because I had this nagging feeling that the photo wasnt from 1968. I had read up on that photo years ago and I vaguely recalled it being from the 70s, which it turns out it was. 1972.

Excellent stuff Batmags! Bonus points for using The Flying Nun.

I had a couple, but not too many, Topps Flying Nun packs. I had way more Planet of the Apes cards. Baseball cards were two years away for me.



I was wondering if you moved to Tahiti or something and went totally off the grid.

I do that from time to time. Just need to step off the on-line scene.



I collected Batman, Rat Patrol, and The Man From UNCLE cards before I got into baseball cards. Five cents a pack with two cents tax.

I'd ask the candy store man if I could have the card box when it was empty, and he used to save them for me. How cool is that?

That was pretty prescient of you to ask for the boxes. I wouldn't say I collected Flying Nun cards (which were put out by Donruss, not Topps) or Planet of the Apes cards. I'd say I just had some of those. More like a one-time shopping thing, probably out of curiosity rather than to collect a set. I probably dragged my father to the local candy store where I had to buy something, anything.



The first cards I remember collecting, or having, were Batman cards. I remember these small round Batman cards, and also, these view master Batman cards also round, that you'd put into some binoculars-like contraption and see a 3D image of a scene from the Batman TV show.

I kept my cards in a Topps case box I got from the candy store guy for years. It finally disintegrated a few years ago.

I had that viewmaster set. The best 3-D image was the one with Robin on the piece of wood hanging over the tigers.

And Catwoman's butt was pretty awesome in 3-D too, lol.

We must've had the same reel. Because those are the images I remember, too. Catwoman and some tigers.
