Making a Splash: Marvel Comics 40 Years Ago This Month

June 1975 was a tough month for Young Groove. It seemed my family had moved to the only place on earth that didn't sell comicbooks...anywhere. Well, anywhere we could find. Thank goodness for those weekend trips to visit my dad's family where comics could be found in a half-dozen places. I dunno what happened, but by July my new hometown had two places to by comics, and the next town over had three. Had all of my running around trying to find someone who sold comics inspired those places to put in spinner racks? Ol' Groove'd like to think so--but knows better. Anywho, below you'll find a selection of sensational splashes representing Marvel's color comic output (not counting reprints) for the start of the Summer of 75. How many of these did you have--and how far did ya have to travel to get 'em?
