Hi. I was watching this old 1957 movie the other night. For those not familiar, it is about a guy (Tyrone Power) who is on trial for murdering an older lady to get her inheritance. The guy first meets the lady when she is in a hat shop trying on different types of hat. As soon as I saw the lady, I r...

Hello. While in the local grocery shop I came across these packets of candy sticks. There were a few different box covers (including one for Superman as well). Each one comes with a sheet of tiny stickers, and the back of the sticker sheet has a warning that they are stickers and not to be eaten. He...

Nice photo. The Batman annual with the photo cover was brought out by a different publisher, but in the same year as one of the Storybook Annuals. But the cover is misleading, as all the contents are reprints of strip stories straight from the comics. While the Storybook Annuals only have artwork co...

There were four of those UK "Storybook Annuals" brought out in the sixties. The stories in the first one bear no resemblance to anything we ever saw, but the next three are styled straight from the TV series, clearly the writers had seen a few episodes by that time. All the major villains ...

Hello.

Here are pages from the magazine as promised, and a preview from the week before. Hope you enjoy.

Hello I live in the UK, and I have an issue of a comic magazine called "Look-In" dated 26th June 1976 which has a two page feature on this record, including a short interview with Adam. I'll try to get this scanned and share it on here on Monday. I though I recognised Nicholas Young in the...

A couple more, Dick Crockett played Morgan in the movie, and one of the six henchmen in Zodiac Crimes. In season 2, Charles Picerni worked for Clock King, Mad Hatter, then straight out in time to work for the Joker/Penguin in the next episode. Also turned up working for Minerva in the last ever epis...

Hi I was just checking on IMDB to confirm if I'd spotted Michael Greene (Riddler's henchman Matches in "Ring of Wax") in another TV show, and sad to see he passed away just earlier this year on January 10th 2020. Lived to age of 86, and has credits right up to 2019. I don't think I had see...

Thanks for the script copy, this is very interesting. There is a little more dialogue from Batman when he calls the Pentagon over the submarine which appears to have been shortened in editing. The ridiculousness of that scene went over me when I was little, but I find it very funny now. Asking if he...

Was there not a mid sixties comic which reprinted some old stories (Joker's Utility Belt amongst them), which indicates current comics (albeit reprints) were being used as reference material?

Interesting the note about fewer film series and moving programmes to tape, as today it is only because series were made on film that we can have the quality of high definition we all enjoy.

Imagine if the third series of Batman had been shot on tape!

Hello. I live in the UK, and have been a fan of The Avengers almost as long as Batman. There was not a huge amount of merchandise compared to something like Batman, but plenty of books and other things have appeared over the years. There were a few jigsaws which I am privileged to own after paying s...

I though about that one as well, but the same guy turned up loads of times is a Policeman, so I assume he was only stunned.

If we're counting animals as well, there's the shark that exploded.

Watched Green Ice last night, and a cop got frozen in that as well, which prompts Bruce to warn Dick not to risk his life. The Policeman never gets another mention. Very disappointed when I first saw Zelda that they got shot and not emerge into a batfight. I believe the comic it was based on had a f...
