As an 7 or 8-yr.-old kid tops, I was in this weird limbo of kinda figuring that he wasn't real, but also walllowing in the possibilities that he <i>was</i> real and was planning to conquer Earth. In a way I was hoping that the latter was the case. Either way, he was a towering figure and my heart raced unlike any other moment I can recall. I think my parents took a couple of pictures—I'll try to find them! leftylimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893414964996457874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-63346635834151120212016-04-22T08:30:58.051-04:002016-04-22T08:30:58.051-04:00http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-SPIDER-MAN-Collect...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-SPIDER-MAN-Collectors-Coin-Necklace-Medallion-1973-Marvel-Comics-/201566433916?hash=item2eee4bb27c:g:CsIAAOSwiYFXGVSPkngfuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077323689435469038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-78581814808347549762016-04-22T07:27:56.728-04:002016-04-22T07:27:56.728-04:00This may be a stupid question, but does it specifi...This may be a stupid question, but does it specifically need to be a hero? Not sure if there will be section on the odd costumed characters that the 70's used any chance they can get. I have a 1978 photo of me at Disney World with some odd Orange Julius bird mascot. The funny thing is I never remember seeing any Disney characters that day, just him! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094935894363388705noreply@blogger.com
