Thrift Store Find: Silver Age Green Arrow Figure

I found the Green Arrow figure from the 1999 DC Super Heroes Silver Age Collection at a local thrift store this morning for only $6.50. The box appears never to have been open but there is a little wear and tear on the corners. The features includes a display stand, a bow that actually fires arrows and a cloth costume like the Mego dolls...er, action figures from the 1970s. This is a rare find for me for none of the local stores ever stocked these nine inch figures.

The back of the box has the following text:

The greatest heroes in the universe join forces to comat the world's most diabolical villains!

The Green Arrow
Real Name: Oliver Queen
Height: 5 feet 11 inches
Eyes: Green
Marital Status: Single
Weight: 178 pounds
Hair: Blond

Oliver Queen, wealthy world traveler, was on a South Seas cruise when a sudden lurch threw him overboard. Currents carried him to a deserted jungle island, and upon regaining his senses, he realized that he would have to fend for himself. Inspired by his Robinson Crusoe-like situation, Oliver began developing his own method for catching food and protecting himself: an array of trick arrows.

Soon, Oliver was catching fish and fowl whis his net arrow, drill arrow, and a number of other types of arrows. He also created a green camouflage suit of leaves. One day, Oliver spotted a freighter anchored off the island. Swimming to the ship's side, Oliver realized that the ship had been overtaken by mutineers. Oliver used his trick arrows to rescue the crew, calling himself the Green Arrow. Upon his arrival back home again, he continued to protect innocent citizens as Green Arrow.

What Have They Done To Billy Batson?

This panel is from Justice Society of America #25 that hits the stands on April 1, 2009 and it is not an April Fool's Day joke:

Yeah, that is Dark Mary Marvel in her new costume (I like the short skirt version better myself) and her brother, Billy Batson, after he said her name. So would he be called Dark Captain Marvel or Dark Billy?

Anyway, you can read an exclusive five page preview of Justice Society of America #25 at Newsarama.

Blog Alert: All In Black & White For 75 Cents

I have been meaning to write about All In Black & White For 75 Cents for a while now and I keep putting it off. Seems like I waited far too long for the last post was on October 12, 2008. There is a slight chance that future posts may start again but the past posts are still there to read. All In Black & White For 75 Cents featured reviews and scanned pages from such classic magazines as Bizarre Adventures, Famous Monsters of Filmland, Epic Illustrated, The Hulk, Vampirella and more.

Update September 4, 2012: I'm sad to report that All In Black & White For 75 Cents is no longer online.
