Yesterday I came across Shogun Warriors issue 13 (1979) at my LCS which was one of the very first comics I ever got my hands on as a kid. Unfortunately, it wasn't in a discount back issue box so this was one of those rare times where I bought a comic from the regular back issue section.
But then again what's a few bucks out of your pocket in exchange for a trip down memory lane huh? So it was worth it to me, especially since there's very little of the clip from the issue available on the internet. Well I'm glad now that I have a copy again I can do something about that.
A Shogun Warriors key word search on this blog will show you this isn't the first time I've blogged about them and of the fond memories I have of the toys and comics from back in the day. I almost forgot about this old photo I had from back in 1980 or 81 (back when I lived in Seattle) that's a scan from a old Polaroid of my action figure collection. You can see Shogun Warrior
Gaiking right next to Vader at the top. Just below
Captain Kirk is next to
Maximillian from The Black Hole. For some reason I have
Flash Gordon wearing Starbuck's cape and
Starbuck wearing
Commander Adam's cape (with a Cylon next to him). We also see
Twiki from Buck Rogers along with an assortment of figures from the
Fisher-Price adventure collection. No need for me to roll call all the Star Wars figures in the photo right?
