I grew up with watching the old Rainbow Brite Star Stealer movie on HBO back in the day. So I guess I was a sort of fan of Rainbow Brite. My older sister or my other sister they were crazy about those Rainbow Brite dolls.
This October ill get a couple of copies of the new Rainbow Brite comic and give my youngest nieces them to read and enjoy.

Back then, I think those Whitman bagged comics were a common and normal thing where theyd always have the same old Donald Duck and that one issue of Flash Gordon all the time while they lasted.
oh yeah Magnus Robot Fighter would always come with those Whitmans comics 3 in one bag. Pretty much all the time it was that one Flash Gordon issue along with the same old Magnus Robot Fighter and a Donal Duck or Mickey Mouse comic

Well speaking of early 3 comics in one bag
Back in the mid 1980s when I was a kid, I grew up in Durfee, South Dakota a small town that was close to the Rez if you know what I mean. My mom would take us kids in our family to the grocery store and she'd get me those Whitman's comics that were 3 in one bag. They were the same old thing. Flash Gordon and two Disney comics that were either Donald Dock or something else.
That one Flash Gordon comic issue was of the one where Flash had some weird snake like plants wrapped around him and that was the last issue of the Flash Gordon series when the Flash Gordon movie was still popular at the time.

That and Lazer Tag ads.
Revell model kits in some comics from 1984 such as Power Pack etc.
also MASK toy ads which I just saw in some of my single back issues of Power Pack

The best left corner character boxes on comics were these
Conan the barbarian . best character box was of Conan standing with an axe in his hand and sword too I think old X Men/Uncanny X Men. best character box portrait was of brown outfit Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Rogue, storm and Dazzler for some issues. Alpha Flight Avengers a little bit.

No. I dont think so.
Wasnt Savage Sword of Conan or whatever back then wasnt it larger and in black and white? Sort of like the Heavy Metal magazine?
Maybe thats why it cost more due to the size being bigger

Old 1980s Marvel subscription to comics.
Now if I read that right, 6 dollars for something like Spider Man or X Men, but 17 dollars for Savage Sword of Conan?

actually Im talking about ads in comic books during the 1980s.
Stuff like ads for atari games, candy such as Bonkers.
Even the stuff where you collect points in order to get junk like walkmans or whatever.
That and the fan letter mail secion at the end of the comics.
ads for upcoming Marvel's New Universe which was a big deal coming up back then

Dont forget those old club points ads where you had to sell stuff or whatever and youd get points to get your parents to order some decent crud back then.

original X Factor # 11-16. Pretty decent issues but they were way heavy with text. Apocalypse appeared then disapeared to take off with Autumn aka Famine. then the issues with Boom Boom were just weird too goofy.
original Power Pack # 25 and # 27. Later tonight Ill read issue 28

The only NOW comic books I still enjoy these days are Fright Night and Ghostbusters.
when I was a kid back then I didnt really care too much for the Terminator comic since it took place in the future where there even female Terminators that got out of hand
Plus i remember seeing either Speed Racer or Racer X in the magazine newsstands back then too but I didnt know a whole lot about Speed Racer anyway

Anyone else besides me that is a fan of the old classic NOW Comics series of Ghostbusters which was called Real Ghostbusters.
the comic was based off of the cartoon show which was pretty cool i guess.
the front cover art for the issues are still pretty cool and kind of scary too at the same time lol.
Issue 1 has some nice art work for the front cover
