very nice, this is a title I wouldn't mind having a set of. I remember watching the Electric Company as a kid, I liked it because of things like the Spider-Man clips.

I started buying these, but quit because they cost ten cents more than regular comics at the time, coupled with the kiddie-type stories I was way beyond at the age of 14. I was too old for Sesame Street or the Electric Company. I used to watch Capt. Kangaroo and Romper Room.....I'm old....but not so old as to remember Howdy Doody on TV..... |

You just named the exact reasons why this series appeals to our generation. We saw it and were tempted, but we all had other priorities. The only people who bought these were little kids and they tore them up. One other point of note. You mentioned a handful of children's shows, but you did not mention Mr. Roger's Neighboorhood. Was that a universally uncool show to watch? Was it disliked by all kids? I hated it. I only had to watch Sesame Street if I was visiting my friend's house. His mom made him watch it. Defiant1 |

Defiant1 Mr. Rogers started his show around 1968 as a response to all the Viet Nam violence he thought kids were exposed to on the TV. At the age of 9, I was past watching those type of kiddie shows by then. I was watching Sat. morning cartoons like Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four in 1968. |

I had pretty much outgrown them also, but I still saw the stuff if my friends had younger brothers or sisters.

I've always had a distaste for comic book adaptations of movies and television shows or ones based on them by the mainstream comic book publishers such as Marvel and DC Comics. The only two publishers to get it even remotely right at all was Dell and Gold Key. It is pretty sad when Marvel can't turn out an excellent X-Men movie comic book and DC Comics can't turn out an excellent Superman movie comic book.

I personally knew Miss Judy from Romper Room. You would have loooved having her as a mom. I lost a lot of my teen years to taking care of my youngest brother who has Down's Syndrome. So finding myself in the position I was in I exposed him to all of the educational kids shows especially the PBS ones. What I'll never forget was the last time I saw Larry Harmon's Bozo The Clown show that was broadcast out of a New York affiliate station (WPIX 11 or WOR 9). They mixed live studio segments with Bozo cartoons. The last one I ever remember them airing, Bozo was holding a potato sack race or something and one of the kids fell down and clearly elicited the phrase, "Aw, F**k!" Bozo came over and told the boy that that was not something a young boy should say, and the kid looked up at Bozo and said, "Cram it, clown!" They went to commercial and that was it for Bozo. Hilarious!  |

And calling someone a Bozo isn't a compliment...

I've always made it a point these days to pick up nice conditioned Spidey Super-Stories comics when I see them cheap. It's not high on a priority list at all, but for the reasons already mentioned, I think they make a rather challenging quest. 1st of all, try seeing more than 3 or 4 at any store or comic booth you go to. Furthermore, try finding many in decent shape! Something about those 2 reasons make it a rather likable challenge for me. You clearly have a better collection than I Defiant1, but my collection is probably getting respectable. I do have 2 very nice #1's and a smattering of other issues. If you like a challenge like I do, Spidey Super-Stories is a very good one indeed!  |

I bought the #1 from my friend Sean. I lucked up and got most of the rest in one purchase from Earl Shaw. I followed with a second purchase from him of a couple more.

Defiant1 I absolutely HATED Mr. Rogers as a kid, my Mom always reminds me of that when we talk about the things I used to watch as a kid. I think I did like Sesame Street, but I'm sure that I preferred the Electric Company. These shows really were a benefit to me as I was able to read at a very early age. I used to read billboards and signs as a very small child when I would ride in the car with my parents. |

I didn't know anyone that liked Mr. Rogers neighborhood. I always wonder why it stayed on TV. i used to cringe when he'd be doing the voice for a female puppet. He was already effeminate as it was.

Picked up another one I needed for $3...  I ~think~ this is a blank UPC Whitman variant, but I'm not sure. Defiant1 |

A collector that tracks variant sales on the STL comics forum said he thought $3 for a high grade Whitman variant of this was a good deal. I had no idea what it was worth, but I thought the grade made it worthwhile. It's got a couple of light spine creases, but essentially "like brand new".
