Oh man...a whole nother area of nostalgia. I was never a F.O.O.M member, but I used to live for comic books. My favorite Marvel character was DareDevil. I would spent hours with a stick pretending it was my "cane" and practice tossing it off stuff. Spiderman of course was great and I also loved Iron Man.
I actually saved three big boxes of old comics from the 70's....two of them mildewed out in the basement of our first house, but I still have one box left. I'm going to save them until I'm 60 and hopefully cash out...
I WAS a member of FOOM. Don't remember mebership levels, wasn't that with the Merry Marvel Marching Society?
I've still got my membership kit in that big Hulk envelope.
Hey, remember the FOOM "Create a Super-Villain Contest?" The winner was supposed to have his creation become a villain in the Marvel Universe. This was back in '73 or ' 74, but they never did it...
Until a month or two ago, in an issue of "Thunderbolts!" For real, after 28 years... go to a comic shop and check it out. I'm sure it's still on the racks.
