Super Goof


I wasn't into Disney comics in spite of my young age in '66. My loss. One of the first Disney comics I DID look at, however, was this superhero version of Goofy. Started in late '65, SUPER GOOF was published intermittently for years. Here are the 1966 issues.

A Thousand Days

Released in 1965, Arthur Schlesinger's retrospective of JFK's presidency remained a big seller though '66 and, in fact, won the 1966Pulitzer Prize for Literature.

Dracula, Prince of Darkness


The very first Dracula movie I ever saw and then I only went to it because it was, oddly, double-featured with Adam West's BATMAN.

R.I.P.-Davy Jones

Alice in Wonderland or What's a Nice Kid Like You Doing in a Place Like This?


Highly touted and reviewed, this hip, all-star Hanna-Barbera TV musical spoof of Alice in Wonderland all but disappeared for years but here it is more or less in its entirety at CLASSIC TELEVISION SHOWBIZ.  Janet Waldo leads the great classic voice actor cast and the guest celebrities include Zsa Zsa, Sammy and Jose Jiminez. Even Fred and Barney famously appear in character...as other characters!






Vogue

Most of the 1966 VOGUE covers were more ordinary but this one shows the creeping psychedelia literally then coming into fashion.
