Can they?Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-2195852397209177742023-09-30T20:58:26.268+01:002023-09-30T20:58:26.268+01:00Hi Steve.

There's been a very active discussion in a Facebook forum where we were attempting to decipher the age of the Sub Mariner badge which I possess and is exactly as you recall. It's certainly a curiosity and one for a collector. Interestingly, there are no badges from this run currently available on eBay so it's very hard for me as a retailer to apportion a value to it. However, it's nice to have it, for however long that lasts... best Matthew #thelsog<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-66587721693868645042015-09-24T07:48:30.333+01:002015-09-24T07:48:30.333+01:00Sean, I merely acknowledge the existence of Supert...Sean, I merely acknowledge the existence of Supertramp.

It was possibly better than I'd remembered - vaguely reminiscent of The Who's <i>Squeezebox</i> - although it did give the impression that Macca had been watching too many <i>St Trinian</i>'s movies before he wrote it.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-76459509980801180782015-09-23T14:16:48.578+01:002015-09-23T14:16:48.578+01:00Yes, I remember this advert - I'd only started...Yes, I remember this advert - I'd only started reading Marvel comics in November '74 and the only comic I was getting at first was Planet Of The Apes so I'd have seen this advert and not known who any of the characters on the badges actually were. And Conan didn't make his Marvel UK debut till March 1975 so there must have been readers who didn't know who he was ? By the way, Steve, I read your BAB comment about 'Girls' School' - amazingly I'd never heard the song despite it technically having been #1 for 9 weeks as half of a double A-side. But I searched on YouTube and there it was so I've finally heard it nearly 38 years late :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
