I've been saving my quarters since Christmas for the local vending machines with stickers and temporary tattoos. Since today is leap day, I decided to try my luck at the only store in town that has them. Unfortunately, the machines with the Pocket Patches and the temporary tattoos were both jammed. Luckily, the Mystery Machine was still working and it was only a quarter while the others were fifty cents. I ended up with 13 stickers including four Marvel Avengers (#1 is Captain America, #6 is Avengers Assemble, #7 is Loki and #11 is Ant-Man that are my first ones of this set), the first Need4Speed sticker (I have others in the series), two Pocket Patches fabric tattoos (#3 and 6), Pet Shop Sticker #9 (Mousestache), Trolls #5 and the first four UglyDolls stickers.

It has over fifty unique coloring pages that are printed on single side pages for no bleed through and it measures 8.5" x 11". You can use whatever drawing material you like including crayons, colored pencils or markers.

Throwback Thursday: Invisible Men: Black Artists of the Golden Age of Comics
I should have devoted the entire month of February to Black History Month but I focused on the Countdown to Valentine's Day 2020 instead. Anyway, you might find Invisible Men: Black Artists of the Golden Age of Comics to be of interest. The hardcover book won't be out until September 2020 but you can pre-order it by using the link below. Here is Amazon's description:
Hear the riveting stories of Black artists who drew--mostly covertly behind the scenes--superhero, horror, and romance comics in the early years of the industry.
The life stories of each man's personal struggles and triumphs are represented as they broke through into a world formerly occupied only by whites. Using primary source material from World War II-era Black newspapers and magazines, this compelling book profiles pioneers like E.C. Stoner, a descendant of one of George Washington's slaves, who became a renowned fine artist of the Harlem Renaissance and the first Black artist to draw comic books. Perhaps more fascinating is Owen Middleton who was sentenced to life in Sing Sing. Middleton's imprisonment became a cause célèbre championed by Will Durant, which led to Middleton's release and subsequent comics career. Then there is Matt Baker, the most revered of the Black artists, whose exquisite art spotlights stunning women and men, and who drew the first groundbreaking Black comic book hero, Vooda!
The book is gorgeously illustrated with rare examples of each artist's work, including full stories from mainstream comic books from rare titles like All-Negro Comics and Negro Heroes, plus unpublished artist's photos. Invisible Men features Ken Quattro's impeccable research and lean writing detailing the social and cultural environments that formed these extraordinary, yet invisible, men!

Marvel Avengers Milk Chocolate Hearts Box
This small Marvel Avengers Milk Chocolate Hearts Box was originally sold for a dollar at the local Walmart's this year but I picked it up for half price this Sunday. There were six red foil wrapped milk chocolate hearts inside. The front of the box when folded was the heart that included full color drawings of Captain America, Ms. Marvel and Iron Man. The lower left side of the box features the Hulk and an actual image of a milk chocolate heart.
The upper left of the box features Black Panther while the upper right features Thor. Both sides also includes a photo of a milk chocolate heart. Thor's side is also the opening while Black Panther's side is glued shut (I took it apart for easier scanning).

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2020 Day 12: Wonder Woman Valentines With Rub On Transfers
I found the only box of Wonder Woman 16 Valentines With 16 Rub On Transfers that the local Dollar Tree had on the shelf about two weeks ago. I'm not exactly sure when they originally came out but I'm guessing either last year or the year before. Wonder Woman is wearing her movie costume and the artwork looks a lot like Gal Gadot.
Unfortunately, the upper left corner of the box is a bit damaged and there is obviously a line cut by a knife on the bottom half. I'm not complaining because it was only a dollar and it was the only one the store had.
The back of the box displays the four different Valentine's Day cards, a sample of the card backs and a sheet of the eight rub on transfers:
There are two sheets of eight rub on transfers that each measures 2-1/4" x 2-1/4". They are mostly different designs of her logo with different words like love, strength and warrior. Three of the transfers actually has Wonder Woman. Unfortunately, the bottoms of the transfers are separating from plastic and are a bit curled. At least, they still have vibrant colors.
The Wonder Woman Valentines are huge measuring at 5" x 4-1/4". The first two feature artwork of Wonder Woman with her sword and shield:
The back of the first Wonder Woman Valentine's Day card is basically the same artwork as the front but from a distance. The back of the second one is the same pose from the front of the box.
The third Valentine features Wonder Woman on a horse with her sword drawn. The fourth card is extra long at 6-1/4" and features her again with her sword and shield (she must be attacking Steve Trevor after he gave her the wrong Valentine's Day gift).
The back of the third card features her on a horse again but with a different view. The final Valentine card features Wonder Woman in her classic arms crossed posed.
I like artwork on these Wonder Woman Valentines With Rub On Transfers. I'm a little surprised that a sheet of red heart-shaped stickers was not included since all the other boxes that I picked up did have them. Maybe a sheet of shield stickers would have been more appropriate.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2020 Day 4: Marvel Spider-Man 32 Valentines
This box of Marvel Spider-Man 32 Valentines was also picked up at the local Dollar General last week for a dollar. The contents include four strips of eight cards and a sheet of red heart-shaped stickers. The front of the box shows Spider-Man getting ready to shoot his webbing at you:
The back of the box shows all eight card fronts plus a sampling of the backs:
Peter Parker in the usual blue and red wallcrawler costume is featured on the first two and fourth cards while Miles Morales in the dark colored Ultimate Spider-Man costume is featured on the third card:
The back of the cards are pretty simple with the Spider-Man logo and two round faded face symbols:

Peter Parker as Spider-Man appears on the back of the extra-wide card in two different poses:
I like this set and was surprised by the guest appearance of Spider-Gwen and the Miles Morales. I was glad that no villains appeared in this set even though I wouldn't mind seeing Black Cat pop up.
