Excalibur #34 (1991)

The next comic book that was in the Ollie's grab bag was Excalibur #34 (1991) from Marvel Comics with Shadowcat, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, Meggan and Captain Britain on the cover. The story is titled "School Spirit" and is the third and final chapter of the Cheerleaders from H.E.C.K.) storyline. Kitty Pryde aka Shadowcat and members of her cheer squad from the all-girl private school save the other Excalibur members that have been taken over by Mesmero (yes, it's as bad as it sounds). I have only read Excalibur #1, 7 and 86 in the past and now I remember why I didn't keep them.

Marvel Heroes Notebook and Portfolio

The Marvel Heroes notebook and matching portfolio both feature the Hulk, Iron Man and Nightcrawler (I guess someone finally figured out that Wolverine is used way too often on merchandise but I wonder why Old Shellhead is flying so low). The notebook was $2.50 and the portfolio was $0.97 at my local Wal-Mart Super Center. The notebook has a lenticular front cover while the back has the Marvel Heroes logo. The back of the portfolio has a small group shot of Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man and Wolverine. The portfolio has the various heroes in the blue background. The interior of the portfolio has a strip featuring the part of the Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Captain America and part of Wolverine. The Marvel Heroes logo has three pairs of eyes (Hulk, Spider-Man and Wolverine) covering the image of Iron Man on the strip. FAB Starpoint distributed both items with a copyright of 2010. The Marvel Kids website is featured on the back of both items.
