1973 Socks
Description: Datsun trucks surged in popularity in America during the 1970s as buyers discovered that a pickup didn’t have to be big, thirsty, or expensive to be useful. While Detroit’s full-size trucks still dominated the market, compact Datsun pickups such as the 521 and later 620 offered dependable four-cylinder power, good fuel economy, easy maneuverability, and a price that appealed to younger drivers and budget-conscious buyers. Their popularity received another boost during the decade’s fuel crises, when efficiency became a major selling point. Datsun also helped turn the compact pickup into something more than a work vehicle, as owners customized their trucks with wheels, graphics, camper shells, lowered suspensions, and other accessories.

Description: Dead of Night debuted in 1973 as part of the Bronze Age revival of horror and supernatural comics. The anthology reached newsstands with a December 1973 cover date and initially drew heavily on eerie pre-Code stories, bringing tales of haunted houses, ghosts, ghouls, monsters, and supernatural revenge to a new generation of readers. With lurid covers, shadowy artwork, and wonderfully melodramatic titles, Dead of Night captured the feel of classic pulp horror while fitting comfortably alongside other creature-based titles of the era. The series lasted just 11 issues, from December 1973 through August 1975.
