Nothing that I bought then for whatever reason, though today I have a good batch of them. My mind was on something else that month --  -- and I still remember the gist of the cover article of what was then the sports story of the century. (Max had been out on a toot the night before, never expecting to play more than a down or two. Little did he know.) I also seem to remember this being out around this time.  I can't find any on-sale date to prove my memory correct, but I know I read it cover-to cover and nailed any non-moving thing I could find with those stamps. |

Hal, I did a search and found a Catalog of Copyright Entries. Third Series: 1967: July-December in Google Books. This issue is listed and it appears that it may have been published (or its papers filed for such) circa August 1967. Here's a screenshot of the More Trash From Mad 10th Annual Edition entry:  Also, you may have come across this already but if not, for some more nostalgia  here's a list of that issue's contents. www.madcoversite.com/madtr10.html |

There's a few comics here that I've read in reprints and a handful that I used to own in the past. But the only ones I still have are Action Comics #347 (full of awesome Supergirl reprints) and this one:  I got it for a dollar in the 1990s just because it looked so WEIRD! It's the only issue of Tomahawk I've ever owned, though I think I've read one or two Tomahawk reprints here and there through the years. |

When the money's right, I plan to do a Tomahawk review/retrospective thread. At that time you will find that the above issue may be the least weird issue of Tomahawk published during the go-go check era. |

I think I heard somewhere that the caveman became a semi-regular character. Or did I just dream that? |

I think I heard somewhere that the caveman became a semi-regular character. Or did I just dream that? Short answer: no. However, in the Silver Age, the Rangers encountered the Gator-God, Frankenstein, King Colosso the giant purple (natch) gorilla, herds of dinosaurs (They do travel in herds, as you know), and tribe after tribe of prehistoric, Lilliputian, undersea and Brobdignagian Native Americans that it would have been no surprise had Gog been added to the Rip-Roarin' Rangers' roster if only as a translator. I have yet to explore his possible blood relation to Gnaark of the Teen Titans... BTW, there were more than a few pterodactyl covers at DC around that time. Take a peek at Mike's Amazing if you don't believe me. They might have been testing a new title. |

Take a peek at Mike's Amazing if you don't believe me... Esp. during the time of Batmania  . In particular I remember some great Star-Spangled War Stories ptero-centric covers (for the SSWS staple The War That Time Forgot); here's one example.  |

Farrar, that is a sterling example of Russ Heath at his best! Oh, and leave us not forget Klagg!  Wonder if any of these guys knew Anthro!

Being as i was a wee lad of 6 years in 1967 there was nothing i bought at the time. However: i have purchased Avengers #38, Doom Patrol #110 and Fantastic Four #61. I do have in Essential or Showcase formats or in reprints many others of Marvel and DC.
Would have loved to be of buying age at this time with so many alternative comics publishers to choose from and enjoy!

Don't know why, but I bought nothignnew form the stands in February 1967. I have a batch of these now, but no memory of picking tham up except as back issues. I know I picked up this, though. If it had a Koufax story in particular, I was all over it.  I do remember that on a Friday night in late January, a news bulletin broke into whatever we were watching on TV to announce that Apollo 1 had gone up in flames, killing Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee, and Ed White. This was a big deal; the astronauts and the space program were still fascinating to most people and the astronauts were like demi-gods. Ed White was especially, because he had been the first man to walk in space. The photos of him floating outside Gemini 4 in June of 1965 had become iconic.  |

Once again, I got nothing  -- I don't recall buying or obtaining or being given any comics that were on sale back then in Feb. 1967.
However as is the case with other CCFers, today I own several comics that were on sale in Feb. 1967, bought as back issues few years ago--and I've read many of these older stories courtesy of the Showcase/Essentials/other collections. Looking at Mike's Newsstand, I note there were at least a couple of comics (non-Batman) on sale in Feb. 1967 comics that appear to have been influenced by Batmania    |
