I don't have ANY of those except the issues of "Amazing World of DC Comics" and mine don't have an Infantino autograph.

I really covet that issue of Creem with Spider-Man on the cover!

I wish I knew what I did with the No-Prize I got when I was a kid......I'd post a picture......heck, I'd frame it.

This implies you had a letter published as a kid. Details?

I really like the Kirby Toy's for Tot's poster. Swiped that from an elk's club one friday after a fish fry in '69 or '70. Wonder when Sterenko did that poster image. It's from '73 but I thought he was done with Marvel by then.

The T-Shirt I ordered out of the back of an Avengers book Back in '67 or '68. Didn't cut out the coupon, Xeroxed the page.

I only ever wrote one letter (that I recall) and it was praising Marvel's heroes and how they could stomp on their DC counterparts. I recall describing how Quicksilver was better than the Flash, Hawkeye was better than Green Arrow, Scarlet Witch & Zatanna, etc.

I don't know if it was published (I certainly never saw it in print) I always assumed it just tickled their fancy in the Marvel offices.

so how did you end up with a no-prize? buy it as a collectible?

No, they mailed it to me as a result of that letter, I just don't know if or where that letter was ever published.

Do you remember what year? We could have a contest to search for it and the winner gets a no-prize. Opps

Ok. Still awesome. Would love to find the letter from little bobby Bretall about how marvel rules anddc drools though.

Well, I started reading comics in 1970 & definitely had sense enough not to write such a letter by 1976.....

If I had to guess, I'd place it around 1972 +/- a year.

If somebody does find that letter, I'll figure out some kind of prize for them.

These aren't exactly fan related things, but these are mor things I've held onto for a long time and thought I'd share!!!

Heard Chris Marshall say this was getting collected by DC next year. Almost forgot I had it. Thought I'd share.
