Am I the only one who fondly remembers "Bullpen Bulletins"?

I kid, I kid. I know many of us do.

I'm posting to ask ... does anybody know if there's a website or some such with an archive of all the monthly Marvel bullpen bulletin pages from the 70s and 80s?

Y'all's help is much appreciated!

Of course I remember them! The ones from the seventies were the best - you got great blurbs about the upcoming Marvel books and Stan's Soapbox! The Soapboxes are corny in retrospect, but you felt like you were part of this cool private club when you read those text pages. They really knew how to sell books without making you feel like they'd sold you a book.

Don't know of any websites, though.

Those things were great. In the days before the internet, and before comics shops, and before fanzines, those were the only way to feel like you were a part of an actual community of hobbyists.

Sweet find, Gerry. Thanks!

But dang, I wish it went on up through the 1980s!

I liked how they had alliterative titles that run through the entire alphabet over a two-year period in the 70s or 80s. That was funny to watch.

Has anyone archived the 70s and 80s yet, dammit?
