Magicman Meets Nemesis

Magicman and Nemesis were two also-ran superheroes of the mid-sixties. At their best, they really weren't bad...just not that memorable. At their worst, they were victims of the camp craze. Published by ACG, they both premiered in 1964 and faded out (after losing their cover slots in their respective magazines) in '67. Here's their inevitable meeting from mid-66!

Polaroid Swinger

Beginning in the seventies, the word "swinging" picked up a sexual connotation. Back in '66, however, if you were a "swinger" it meant you were hip, baby! Thus Polaroid named its new instant camera, The Swinger." The pictures were small, on thin paper that warped easily, and didn't stand the test of time all that well but my mother used it for nearly a decade. Below is ME in the first picture she ever took with her Swinger back in that momentous first year.

The Night of the Grizzly

Big Clint Walker wasn't long of of his phenomenally popular CHEYENNE television western in '66 when this vehicle came out on his way to translating that success into big screen stardom. It had a really good cast and did well but the actor never did really make it on the big screen in the long run.
