Bloody knackered, and I'm off to bed, in a nice warm room after a nice warm bath! But I thought I'd shove this out before I retire to the reward for the weary! We saw them here, a while ago now, but not all of them I think, and I seem to recall someone put me right on the Batgirl!
On the left what I think is a complete set of six
DC superhero pencil tops of Hong Kong, but otherwise unknown heritage - I need a better paint
Batman! Then a colour variation of
The Flash, with a bootlegged, fatty-copy, bottom right and a -probably - late issue/reissue from the original tool in generic coloured plastic,
a'la Diener Industries and others.

That's not the FLASH. It's the C.C.Beck Captain Marvel or SHAZAM.
ReplyDeleteA bit of Google'ing later . . . yes, it could be either, I thought Captain Marvel was er . . . Marvel Comics, that must have hurt! So long as it's DC it fits! I didn't know either were that popular, but that's a disinterested Brit's opinion! Cheers Brian!

The more interesting thing is that when Fawcet Comics discontinued Captain Marvel because of DC Comics pressure, the b/w British reprints had to end and the character became MARVELMAN by artist Mick Anglo.
ReplyDeleteI got the gist from Wikipedia Terra' , but I really can't get excited over six or seven versions of five iterations of three company's, similarly-besuited chaps! There's one Judge Dredd, there's one Valerian, There's one Lone Slone, and that's how I like my superhero's . . . Anti-heroes, and one!
