JUMPIN' JUNE WITH THE SUPER-HEROES

ONCE AGAIN, AS PART OF OUR 10TH ANNIVERSARY, WE PRESENT THOSE WONDERFUL MARVEL & DC COMICS CALENDARS OF THE SEVENTIES! 

Firstly we have the Fantastic Four (with Medusa of the Inhumans standing in for the Invisible Girl . . . unless she's there too but just . . . you know . . . like . . . invisible . . . ) from Marvel's 1975 calendar with artwork by . . . could it be Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott???


Secondly we have Aquaman aswim in sea green by Neal Adams and Dick Giordano from DC's 1976 calendar


Thirdly we have Marvel's whack at the Bicentennial with the Amazing Spider-Man seemingly helping out John Paul Jones with artwork by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito.

Fourfally we have what seems to be a pattern of June being King of the Seven Seas month as DC's monumental 1977 calendar features Aquaman battling Black Manta as Aqualad and Mera float along with artwork by the immortal Jim Aparo.
Fivefully we have DC's "Disasters" calendar from 1978 with the Metal Men battling the Ocean Master with art by Walt Simonson and Joe Staton.
