- Tales From My Spinner Rack! returns with the conclusion of our two-part series on the Marvel Annuals of the 1960s!
The Marvel Age of Comics was in full bloom in the latter part of the 1960s. With an infusion of new talent-including writers Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich and artists John Romita, Gene Colan, and John Buscema-the company's 25-cent annuals shifted to all-new material in 1967 and ‘68-including Avengers, Daredevil, and the Incredible Hulk joining the line-up. This video takes a look at all the annuals from 1966 through 1968 plus a couple from 1969 that featured new special features.
ADDED NOTE: I had a major DUH! moment re-watching this when i realized that the Marvel Super-Heroes King Size Special #1 was almost certainly utilizing the title of the syndicated cartoon series that was seen throughout the U.S. in 1966. So it more than likely had to do with wanting a tie-in to that series, even though none of the reprints in the annual had anything to do with the heroes on the TV show, other than the Avengers #2 reprint, featuring Iron Man and Thor, who both had their own segments in the animated series.

Great stories of a GREAT era! Thank you!
Nick Fury in Vietnam? I bet that one has aged really well and held in great esteem by Marvel now!
Another great episode thanks.
Another great video. When you compare FF Annual #1 to #6, even though it's just a 5-year span, the difference is otherworldly (in more ways than one). That growth of sophistication you might expect from an artist aging from 20 to 25. But Kirby was 46-51.
😎 Because my Uncle Manny was a Thor fan I got to read both annuals. 1968 and my two favorite annuals : The Avengers and The Incredible Hulk my birthday presents to myself. In that same week time span I learned that 'Hippie" was another way of saying hypocrite. My cousin Louie and I were riding our bicycles and as we rode to the nearby park we came across two hippie guys sitting on a bench. We had seen hippie characters on TV and because they were always portrayed as peace loving liberal minded people we thought it would be cool meeting them. They were two of the most prejudiced , unfriendly college know-it-alls we were surprised to encounter. After that experience my cousin and I wised up about false images and because I was a Marvel fan I was disappointed that Stan embraced the college scene. I know I read most of the '66 and '68 annuals as well as Not Brand Ecch and Marvel Super Heroes , my favorite issues being the one that featured my #1 😍 Marvel -licious Maiden - The Magnificent Medusa ! My other two favorite issues were the ones featuring The Black Knight and The Guardians of The Galaxy but not because of the lead features but because of the two part All Winners Squad adventure. It was always a worthwhile visit to my local Mom & Pop store to check out the spinner rack .
incredible hulk cover is unbelievable beautiful
I love watching your videos. The Fashion Parade Annual consisted of one page pinups, no stories! Unusual, to say the least!
Thanks ... I've never seen an actual copy, but more and more I'm getting interested in Patsy and Millie, and also Marvel and DC romance books of this era.
2 of my first “old” comics were the King Size FF 4 & ASM 3. Found in an antique store in the early eighties.
While I enjoyed the new stories, I was really impressed with the reprints in both issues.
Both 2-parters are absolute classics that remain favorites to this day.
They were the best something to look forward to for summer
The Patsy Walker Fashion Parade Annual looks like fun! Cheeky! I owned the Avengers Annual shown here. It was great!
Those Marvel Annuals and the DC 80 to100 page Giants of the 60,s were truly classic compared to the worthless trash they produce these days
Thank you! This brought me back to a beautiful era in comics.
Great video, loved it and I love early Marvel annuals! Don’t be so tough on DD annual #1, one of my favorite comics! ❤
Great video thanks.
Avengers Annual #2 still one of my favorites. Remember first seeing it on the stand a dropping that precious quarter.
Mine two first explore of a Marvel Multiverse
Ur vids are great...Are you going to do a DC annual video?
Hadn't thought about it ... the only vintage ones I own are the Superman ones ... but It's a good idea!
