 |
| The Sub-Mariner getting in on the sales hype. | Over 2,000,000 Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern fans!! |
 |
 |
| "The Crimson Skull" - The film featured an all-black cast made for black audiences. This one starred "The One-Legged Marvel, Steve Reynolds." | "The Bull-Dogger" - another all-black movie poster. |
 |
 |
| I scream, you scream, the funny pages scream for ice cream! | "Superman" #19 - all time high sales numbers! |
 |
 |
| Even the restrooms are decorated, albeit with reproductions rather than originals. | There's something amazingly cool about that Cisco Kid pin. |
 |
 |
| Truth in advertising - Dell Comics were awesome. | According to Geppi, one of the rarest Disney one-sheets in existence. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
| Snap, Crackle and Pop looked so much cooler back in the day. | A classic war-time propoganda poster - Popeye had no tolerance for the Japanazis. |
 |
 |
| An introduction to the cast of Terry and the Pirates. | The final Krazy Kat strip, purchased by Geppi from the estate of George Herriman. |
 |
 |
| In the final panel, Krazy Kat dies. Herriman himself would pass away a week after he finished this strip. | In another purchase years later, Geppi ended up with a letter from Walt Disney to Herriman's daughter, offering his condolences. Geppi had several stories of serendipitous collecting like this one. |
 |
 |
| The entrance to the comic book room. | Just one example of the classic toys on display, many of which looked like they were almost new. |
 |
 |
| Snow White was apparently an amazing saleswoman. | The Daily Planet display case houses numerous Supermaan toys and products. |
 |
 |
| Classic coloring book - dig thaat old school S-shield! | "The Immigrant Hero" |
 |
 |
| One of the display windows... | ...and another. |
 |
 |
| OK, this Supermaan figure was downright creepy. | An original Dumbo one-sheet promotional poster. |
 |
 |
| Apparently very few black and white Popeye cels still exist. | The Geppi collection is home to at least 4 of them. Beautiful stuff. |
 |
 |
| Mickey Mouse's precursor, Oswald The Lucky Rabbit, recently re-acquired by Disney in an odd deal with NBC. | Jaw-dropping "War Of The Worlds" poster promoting the classic movie based on the infamous radio broadcast. |
 |
 |
| George Reeves was Superman. | Peanuts vinyl figures, in almost perfect condition. |
 |
 |
| The extended Marvel Family. | Just another example of how important comics were to the American public - Al Capp gets the cover of "Life" to explain why he married off Li'l Abner. |
 |
 |
| The Museum houses some interesting and important non-comic related material as well. | The blatant stereotyping is noticable in numerous advertising campaigns and products. |
 |
 |
| Love the tagline - TV's Private Eye-Full! | An amazing collection of Activision patches. Their value immeasurable to a kid of the 80s. |
 |
 |
| I swear I had a roll of this at one point. | Better watch out, better not cry... |
 |
 |
| 8-track mania. | Wonder Woman pop-up/action book. |
 |
 |
| A quick glance at the first display being installed in the rotating exhibit room. | I believe this may be the only one of these known to exist today - it's an easy 3 feet wide and 2 feet tall and looks like it just rolled off the printing press. |
 |
 |
| Mad cow cereal. | Some promotional photos from Donner's Superman. |
 |
 |
| Classic Peanuts. The original artwork for these is absolutely amazing. | Ditto for the Li'l Abner originals. |
 |
 |
| The last known cel in existence from Mickey's first color appearance. | Another hallway shot. |
 |
 |
| A rare Disney cel. | Another Disney cel. |
 |
 |
| And one more for good measure. | The Mickey Mouse toy display makes you weep for the junk kids today get in their happy meals. |
 |
 |
| An extremely rare creature - a waddle book with all the punch-outs intact. | Original Disney pop-up book on it's original display stand. |
