Do you think that in some meeting at Heroes World, there was a manager that insisted that some kid, somewhere would be all Hank Venture over this ad? “Holy moses, you guys! It’s Logan’s Run numbers 1, 5, and 6? In the same package as Howard The Duck #3 and Red Sonja #5? This is an awesome deal, even without Ms Marvel #1! Let’s go get our nickels together!” ?

    Some odd choices here, but I totally want Set #3. Godzilla *and* the Human Fly? 70s Heaventies.

    Ah, Heroes World. They had a real store in the Echelon Mall, with an opening that looked like the wall had exploded. For reals. Good times.

    Don’t laugh! I remember spending a lot of time on this page wondering which set I would buy if I had the money!

    But… but… but… if I get all the sets, I’ll be missing that elusive issue #4 of Logan’s Run, forcing me to haunt eBay in thirty years from then.
