Pizzazz #1 – 1977 Marvel Magazine Highlights

I was checking out a new collectibles shop nearby the other day (Patrol Dewback, I’ll be back!) when I stumbled on the first issue of Pizzazz by Marvel.

There’s a ton of fun stuff in it, but I thought I’d share just a few of my favorite pages:

Pizzazz - Dr. Strange 1

You’d think Dr. Strange would be above card tricks, but I guess not. Also, that’s not Dr. Strange in the photo…

Pizzazz - Dr. Strange 2

…that’s 15-year-old Jamie Schack who never lived that photo down.

Pizzazz - Dr. Doom Jokes

Who knew Dr. Doom has such a sense of humor?

Pizzazz - Silver Surfer Code

Find the answer on the Silver Surfer’s crotch!

Pizzazz - Spider-Man Maze

Not only is Ock is long gone, but he’s apparently a giant now! Stay put, Spidey.

Pizzazz - Front Cover

There’s the cover for you…

Pizzazz - Jack Davis Back Cover

…but the back cover is my favorite! Jack Davis!

And just to wrap things up nicely, here’s a commercial for Pizzazz to start your week off right:

Shazam Color A Deck Card Game (1977)

From 1977 DC and Russell Manufacturing comes this awesome Superhero Color-A-Deck card game featuring Shazam:

I’ve scanned in each card and the front of the box nice and big, and at the end of this post you can click on the thumbnails to download the cards so you can print, cut, color, and play with them yourself!
