Bullpen Bulletins (April 1980)
Marvel's Bullpen Bulletins page for April 1980 included Stan's Soapbox, the Mighty Marvel
Checklist and a great house ad for the Spider-Woman and Thing cartoons that
were airing on ABC at the time. In Stan’s Soapbox, the Man laments the
challenges of writing his monthly column three months before the publication
date of the comics in which its printed. As we’ve noted in past months, Stan’s monthly missives often refer to dates that have already passed or contain information
that’s no longer accurate. We feel his pain since the Marvel Checklist is also
filled with inaccuracies and omissions and it’s quite an effort to determine
what titles were actually published each month. In this case, the Mighty Marvel Checklist has three Marvel Magazines
that were actually dated March 1980 and completely misses Tomb of Dracula Magazine
#4 that hit newsstands that month. In any case, it’s hard to complain too much
since the research is fun and reading the old Bullpen Bulletins is always a great sentimental
journey. Click on the scan below to see Bullpen Bulletins in high-definition!
