Those are really cool items.
Some are very unique.
I love the artwork of the time, that they used for the stuff.

I still have the Superfriends lunchbox & thermos. I think in a box of loose figures I still have the Batman pencil sharpener. I used to place that in the Wayne Foundation as a trophy. I also have a Superfriends trash can.

I had that same trash can for many, many years. Loved it!
And Marvel & DC (and Star Wars) lunch boxes, binders, notepads, etc. were my classroom companions for all of my childhood.Last edited by Bruce Banner; Aug 23, '21, 4:46 AM.PUNY HUMANS!Comment

What a great article! The mention of ice cream trucks resurrected fond memories of those old Ford F series trucks from the 60's driving through the suburbs with their gleaming metal refrigerated boxes, showcasing their colorful and delectable frozen goodies. Those back-to-school products are definitely special moments. The notebook covers (featuring comic covers) were a big one for me. I think my biggest tendency was to place the Marvel superhero stickers on my folders (along with Wacky Packages) for the full effect. In our elementary school it was not uncommon for them to have a supply booth where you could pick up all sorts of wonderfully themed erasers (often from Diener) and pencils and pens adorn with our favorite heroes. Fun days. Thanks for taking me back Chris. It was a great ride.Comment

I always dig your articles because they bring back good memories.
Seeing the spiral notebooks reminded me that I had a 3-ring binder that featured the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #135. Meade had a whole line that consisted of the filler paper with iron ons and the spiral notebooks you have in the article, along with 3-ring binders and folders.

The Superman: The Movie lunchbox still makes me happy 40 plus years later. What a cool lunchbox!Comment

What a great article with a great flood of nostalgia!! I couldn't get enough superhero Back to School merch. When I started collecting as an adult, one of the first thing I replaced was my Mead portfolios. I remember as a kid thinking it was a bit pompous to call portfolios what was clearly just folders.
Mead school stuff is also the reason Avengers 141 is my favorite Avengers cover- that classic team vs team layout!.WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment

I was curious about the cover dates of the Comics featured on the 6 portfolios/binders/folders and it seems they ranged from late 1974 to January 1976. With that short of a date range, I'm guessing a lot of kids probably still had all of the actual issues in their stack at home.Comment

And now back to your regularly scheduled praise for the fun in the article. As nuts as I was for hero supplies, I have never seen those pencil toppers. I would've loved what amounted to small action figures I could take to school!WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment
