1970s Comic Merch
Description: For anyone who read comic books between the 1950s and the recent era, these ads were as familiar as the heroes themselves. But a nuclear submarine for a few bucks plus postage.

Great gift for comic book fans.
Description: The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan (sometimes abbreviated as The Amazing Chan Clan) was a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series that ran for one season back in 1972.

Description: Time Travelers opened their doors at 1511 2nd Avenue in Downtown Seattle back in 1977 with a focus on everything that parents hate, and it was truly glorious. With a perfect mix of punk records, skateboards, weird comic books, and t-shirts to go along with all of the above, Time Travelers had it all. This was a unique space for the kids who either didn't fit in with the mainstream, or simply didn't want to. Time Travelers managed to exist in what is considered prime real estate nowadays throughout the '80s and into the '90s before exorbitant rent increases made the store's very existence an impossibility.
