Famous Monsters of Filmland was the reading choice of the day stashed under your bed for late-nite reads along with a batch of Marvel comics offering up the likes of The Fantastic Four, the Amazing Spider Man, Daredevil, Iron Man, and The Avengers from Stan Lee’s Bullpen and DC was flying high with the Justice League of America, Aquaman, Brave and Bold- Batman paired up with a DC all -star, Superboy and the Teen Titans.
