Silver Age Pins and Buttons
Description: She stepped out of the spacecraft in a silver bodysuit, black gloves, and gold heels because subtlety apparently does not exist on her planet. With green skin, sleek retro hair, and the posture of someone conducting a very stylish planetary inspection, this atomic-age alien is ready to evaluate Earth’s technology, nightlife, and footwear. Perfect for sci-fi collectors, retro futurism fans, and anyone who prefers extraterrestrials with impeccable taste.
Description: Tiger Girl only appeared in her own comic, of which there was just a single issue in 1968. It was published by Gold Key Comics and was as campy as it gets, even by Silver Age standards. Tiger-Girl’s powers are never clearly defined, and their origin will likely remain forever unknown. They seem to include above average strength, heightened agility and an exceptional rapport with felines, including savage beasts. She is an exceptional aerialist and acrobat and is also an experienced circus hand, often assisting with performances involving beasts – especially the lions. Her charm and beauty are striking and generally speaking, her powers are rather modest compared to most superheros, so it’s a good thing she had a huge tiger backing her up.
Description: A humorous cartoon features two anthropomorphic lightbulbs with arms and legs. The left bulb is green, wearing a pirate hat with a skull and crossbones and an eyepatch. The right bulb is yellow with cracks and a wide smile. Both hold up two fingers in a peace sign, standing against a red, spiky background. The text 'Pirates of the Silver Age' is above them.
Description: The Brain That Wouldn't Die (also known as The Head That Wouldn't Die or The Brain That Couldn't Die) is a 1962 American science fiction horror film directed by Joseph Green and written by Green and Rex Carlton. The film was completed in 1959 under the working title The Black Door but was not theatrically released until May 3, 1962, when it was released under its new title as a double feature with Invasion of the Star Creatures.

He keeps his fiancée's severed head alive for days, and also keeps a lumbering, malformed brute (one of his earlier failed experiments) imprisoned in a closet.
