What an exciting time to be a kid in the 3rd/4th grade back then!The ritual of picking out your lunchbox and school supplies. I remember being disappointed in the DC character designs- nothing grabbed me, Superman was boring, wasn't really feeling Batman with Robin. Wonder Woman was unthinkable! So I had to settle for the Marvel offerings. How embarrassing to be known in the schoolyard as a DC collector, but all your back to school supplies are MARVEL! sigh.

(It has more heft when you swing it before lunch than after.)<br /><br />I was a kid in the 1970's when John Romita Sr. was art director, so all the licensed images were either by him or the artist he felt the target audience would identify with the character: Hulk/Herb Trimpe, Thing/Rich Buckler (or old Kirby art), Daredevil/Colan or Kane, etc. For Vision he probably would have went with John Buscema or George Pérez depending on the year. In 1981 it might have been John Byrne. Can you find the image online? Or do you know the artist?pblfsdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471473189061385119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-44770923995436214342014-09-12T11:41:01.989-04:002014-09-12T11:41:01.989-04:00The Vision was pretty much, hands down, my favorit...The Vision was pretty much, hands down, my favorite Avenger and Marvel Comics character on the rare occasion that I brought a Marvel comic book. I even had the purple Avengers metal lunch box & thermos by Aladdin (1981) and I had a Trapper Keeper organizer/notebook with the image of The Vision & Scarlet Witch! Anyone remember those "back to school" items?Energy Lawnoreply@blogger.com
