This implies you had a letter published as a kid. Details?BobBretall wrote:I don't have ANY of those except the issues of "Amazing World of DC Comics" and mine don't have an Infantino autograph.
I really covet that issue of Creem with Spider-Man on the cover!
I wish I knew what I did with the No-Prize I got when I was a kid......I'd post a picture......heck, I'd frame it.
I only ever wrote one letter (that I recall) and it was praising Marvel's heroes and how they could stomp on their DC counterparts. I recall describing how Quicksilver was better than the Flash, Hawkeye was better than Green Arrow, Scarlet Witch & Zatanna, etc.Trev wrote:This implies you had a letter published as a kid.

That's discipline! I wish I hadn't cut out all those darned Marvel Value Stamps......rzing20480_2000 wrote: Didn't cut out the coupon, Xeroxed the page.
so how did you end up with a no-prize? buy it as a collectible?BobBretall wrote:I only ever wrote one letter (that I recall) and it was praising Marvel's heroes and how they could stomp on their DC counterparts.

I don't know if it was published (I certainly never saw it in print) I always assumed it just tickled their fancy in the Marvel offices.
No, they mailed it to me as a result of that letter, I just don't know if or where that letter was ever published.Trev wrote: so how did you end up with a no-prize? buy it as a collectible?
Ok. Still awesome. Would love to find the letter from little bobby Bretall about how marvel rules anddc drools though.BobBretall wrote:No, they mailed it to me as a result of that letter, I just don't know if or where that letter was ever published.Trev wrote: so how did you end up with a no-prize? buy it as a collectible?
Well, I started reading comics in 1970 & definitely had sense enough not to write such a letter by 1976.....rzing20480_2000 wrote:Do you remember what year? We could have a contest to search for it and the winner gets a no-prize. Opps
