Comic Books on Records from the 70s!

[@optimusrhymz2226]

Why does Peter Pan fly? If someone hit you in the peter with a pan you'd fly too. 😅 Classic.

[@cheddarcheese7928]

Loved my old “Moscow on the Hudson” Power Record!.used to play on days when I didn’t feel like listening to “Sophie’s Choice”

[@RunnerInc]

Still have all my records

[@petebutler5139]

3:37 Yes sirrr! I had and still have Spider-Man vs. The Man-Wolf. Loved that story!

[@fdeadlycommasir]

I had this one. It always scared me.

[@jamesherder5757]

I had that one too loved it

[@SniffHeinkel]

I had the Fantastic Four record when I was a kid. I played the shit out of it.

[@cheddarcheese7928]

I still listen to these classic “power records” stories every now and then. Especially if I’m having trouble sleeping..Loved these to death as a kid!

[@MRaadesign]

Still the Batman album and the singles of the Fantastic Four, Wolfman, Dracula and Frankenstein! These were great! One Halloween there wasn't much on tv. So I turned the lights down and played all 3 that night. Great being a kid in the 70's!

[@michaelrussom6463]

These were awesome junkman. I didn't realize there were 2 different companies. I had at least half of these, including the he-man record. I got them all at the thrift store as a kid. They were a lot of fun. I always liked the dramatic telling of the stories. 😁

[@tperson8347]

That sounds good, a He-Man record. :) That would be cool to have the He-Man intro to start the record with. 🎵He-Man!🎵

[@ScottAskins-t3n]

Maximum Fake William Shatner Voice. LOL

[@ReverendBad]

I had a Spiderman vs Draco that was amazing. Wish I still had that!

[@stevenkreft4326]

Before Blue ray, DVD, Laser Dick, and VHS there was a Star Wars record. Listened to that well over 1,000 times.

[@vjones17]

Is Laser Dick something like a 6 to 12-inch light saber?🙃

[@NintendoSuperstar93]

These are cool and would be great to have among my record collection. Audiobooks before digital audiobooks were a thing.

[@brianknapp6215]

I also remember that cereal companies would occasionally package records with their products. They even had them specially printed on the back of the box- where you had to cut them out of the cardboard. Those were really flimsy and didn't hold up to a lot of wear. Edit: The specific records I remember were called Spooky Stories- and they were packaged on the back of Honeycomb, Alpha Bits and Monster Cereals in the late 70s.

[@candacecherry2846]

I remember the recered they tell stories

[@brianknapp6215]

My older brother and I had a bunch of the Peter Pan Book & Records growing up. Mostly Disney ones- but we had a collection of the Original G.I. Joe ones from the 70s. Unfortunately, my Mother (in her infinite wisdom) packed up all our "children's" books, records and our encyclopedia set (ever heard of Childcraft by World Book?) and sent them to my oldest cousin who's wife was pregnant. Lots of collectible Value went with those... The only one I have left is actually a Book and Cassette from 1982 of _Star Trek Ii: The Wrath Of Kahn_

[@vjones17]

I had "Secret Mission to Spy Island" in the 70's.

[@garzilla7123]

I had that first Batman Joker 45 one. And I think The Amazing Spiderman 33 1/3 one. I had the Batman 33 1/3 one also. I had the Superman 45 one. Good memories. 👍👍👍🙂

[@joshuaross4644]

Aaaahhhh memories 😊

[@TheJohno95]

I used to listen to those records all the time! They were a ton of fun and you could learn to read better by going along with them. The Masters of the Universe Power of Point Dread one was awesome! It came with the playset and it was actually kind of funny. Trap Jaw and Tri Klops really come across as complete morons in it! I mean, Skeletor was always screaming at them on the cartoon, but they really are bumbling fools in this story! Almost makes you feel sorry for poor Skeletor! There were some other REALLY cheap Masters of the Universe book and record sets, but they came along at the VERY end of the line and were just cheap black and white books with minimal story. Probably worth something today, though. You know how that crap nobody bought back in the day ends up being the most expensive items.

[@tperson8347]

These would be awesome to have. I absolutely LOVE the hiss, pop, and crackle of a record. It's like the record is alive. It's magical. This is totally different, but you mentioned radio plays, Billy Dee Williams was the only cast member that did all the Star Wars radio plays, even the one for Dark Empire. Thanks for the video

[@brianknapp6215]

I know Anthony Daniels did (at least) a couple of the SW Original Audio Dramas- but I'm not sure which ones other than _A New Hope..._

[@ThatJunkman]

A new Hope? ;)

[@brianknapp6215]

@@ThatJunkman LOL

[@3Storms]

I remember these, but don't remember any kids having them. They seem like they'd be ok. And that guy trying to sound like Shatner is terrible. Spidey's boss was J Jonas Jameson.

[@raywallacefan7786]

You're right about the Shatner imitator. To be fair, there weren't a lot of good Shatner imitators in the '70s.

[@markwebb1040]

I had a few of these. The Incredible Hulk At Bay! The villain was Abomination. I had Planet of the Apes and Escape From the Planet of the Apes. And I had Captain America. I listened to them all the time and, yes,they helped me with my reading. Fast forward and I'm a book lover to this day. I can still hear some of the dialog in my head as it played on the records. I eventually found the original issues of The Hulk and Captain America. So much fun.

[@JustinTyme33]

The Rockomic The Amazing Spider-Man is a record I played over and over as a child. I can still picture the Buddah spinning round and round on the label. It was a rock opera and it cemented my lifelong obsession with Spider-Man.

[@ciscodeer9094]

I had the peter pan records., but not those recordsm

[@raywallacefan7786]

I listened to the Star Trek records. Although I remember the cover for The Six Million Dollar Man one.

[@DeusVult838]

I have some of the Spider man ones!!!

[@steveevenson744]

Batman vs Gorrilla Grod , used to love to speed up the record and bust up laughing at all the characters sounding like chipmunks .

[@greyeyed123]

I had the Star Trek one with the talking dinosaurs. Well, they talked telepathically with the crew. It was actually pretty good. I think someone posted it on youtube somewhere.

[@greggiovanni4788]

I remember when I had from the early seventies was about two kids that had the measles that went up in a rocket ship to the Moon lol and that began my love of reading lol

[@ken.f.c.1977]

Carpetbagger logic about frankenstein's monster😂

[@brianlocke2657]

About time you broke out the battle command and made use of it.

[@ThatJunkman]

Been waiting for near time ;)

[@Sci-Fi-Mike]

I remember having He-man, Chipmunk Christmas, and the McDonald's Menu albums. Not sure what came from Power Records, though.

[@mikemonk4375]

He’s called the Wolfman. He got bit by a werewolf.🤪

[@shanester1832]

I don't remember ever seeing these, even in comic shops as novelties. They were always trying new stuff back then, seeing what sticks. Seems like everything's been tried now and it's all boring.

[@markcoledrumteacher]

Power Records rule! I picked up a couple of TREK ones at a record show a few years ago. They have fantastic artwork!

[@tperson8347]

I saw Space: 1999 on VHS at Goodwill. I'm still kicking myself for not picking it up.

[@CameronCorneilus]

Beautiful Artwork on that star Trek, and all the rest. One of the reasons I became an Artist especially spiderman captain America. Great video.

[@daveassanowicz186]

Junkman! Comic books are my jam.

[@Johnalucard-jo3yi]

I used to love these. Played them to death

[@TCsCollectablesCollection]

Hey there Junkman, interesting video! I have a lot of those you showed...Star Trek 6 or more of those, a few Marvel and D.C. The Conan LP I got after I found the 45 of a Conan story & Comic in a Kay-Bee Store in the mid 80s. The same Story is 1 of those on the LP. I think I got all those for the prices they had printed on them of $1.49 or something like that. One of these days I'll do a vid on them, when I find them that is. Take care! 😀🖖

[@jamesherder5757]

I had Spider Man vs The Man Wolf all the Planet of the Apes a G.I.Joe one and a Boxed Super Man record that came with a Reprint of Action Comics #1 a super man pin and a iron on patch I spent hours listen to them except for the superman I only played it once but I was a little older when I got that one

[@WhitneySmith-ey7dl]

I have the Spider-Man Bells of Doom 45 rpm single. Does it have any significant value?

[@greggiovanni4788]

You know I think if DC got the right director they could take that plastic Man character and turn him into their Deadpool

[@ricardopadilla399]

Gemini Man me parece que era un programa sobre un sujeto que podía hacerse invisible (no recuerdo la razón por la que podía hace eso) por periodos cortos de tiempo con la ayuda de un reloj y corría el riesgo de desaparecer si se excedía de ese tiempo. Realmente no era un buen programa . ¡ Muy interesante video Junkman, saludos !

[@marcacosta7594]

Junkman, dont know if you know or not, but there was even a Kojak, comic book/record from Power. I know you love some Kojak.

[@Tom-er2gj]

I have the Wolfman book.

[@cheddarcheese7928]

This may be a boomer question Junkman,but how the hell are u starting and stopping the audio of these records by hitting my old 70’s Star Wars electronic battle game?

[@ThatJunkman]

I got MacGyver skills

[@greggiovanni4788]

Hey that Gemini man is that where they got the story for the Will Smith movie Gemini man

[@dangordon2132]

Are you pulling my leg with the Moscow On The Hudson story record? Is that a real thing?

[@stevenfunderburg1623]

Literally how I learned to read. Gen X=Great Gen Z=Lame.

[@alexnejako777]

Get the Star trek Mission to Mouav

[@Davescomicsandstuff]

No. I didn't listen to any of these. But I do have a few which makes me wonder just how many of these are there? And the actors forget who the hero even is in one!... Yeah, Spiderman was called Superman in one of these... can you believe that? I think someone would be getting sued now of days if it happened today.
