Man, I love that Tarzan image. Russ Manning got his name on a lot of Tarzan merch!

That Iron Man standee...probably one of the last items produced (1979) with DC and Marvel heroes co-mingling. And it says MARVEL on this package, "with DC Comics Friends"! I wonder if the DC characters said "DC" instead. Love that Bob Layton art.

I don't mean to pick on someone for their physical stature, but it was hard to take his tough guy talk when it came from his 5'5', 125-lb frame.
