Retro pop culture geek. Interested in no particular order, music (preference is 80s), but like others, comic books, tabletop role playing games, movies, and books. Favourite films - Jaws, Star Wars (Original trilogy), The Fisher King, King Kong (30s).
Now that's a splash page, from #Avengers 317, cover dated May 1990. #Marvel #comics

A couple of more old TSR adverts. One for their ubiquitous #ttrpg #AD&D Dungeons and Dragons and the other for another one of their largely forgotten #boardgames, Web of Gold anyone?

It's a gratuitous splash page in an otherwise pedestrian issue of the #Avengers.

The series that would go on to become solid, was originally just some Metal Gear on your #NES #Nintendo Entertainment System.

Random #comicbook of the day. #Marvel #Avengers Volume 1, number 290 from the distant days of April 1988.
It's a frankly woeful read that is best forgotten. #comics

Is it a toy, or is it a video game? It is Captain Power and the soldiers of the future from Mattel.

Another recent pick up from Facebook Marketplace was this collection of early #Sonic games. Loved these back in the 90s on my Megadrive.

Currently playing Diablo 3. I liked occasionally playing Diablo 2 on my PC years ago, so when I saw this for £5 on Facebook Marketplace I couldn't resist. Its a lot of fun, though I can see it will get repetitive.
