Groovy Age Walls

I recently had one of those dark spots where memory has dropped through one of the gaping holes in my head unveiled, much to my delight. We'll get into details a bit more soon, when we get to the title itself.
But this is going to be another one of those annoying tease posts heralding more to follow, so let's skip those important details for the moment.

Instead, like the title says, let's go to the walls and what covered them in my room way back then. In the early 70s an oversized newspaper publication emerged, and from the first issue they used that size to cool purpose - providing big posters for the readers. And, even better, being an un-stapled newspaper centerfold, you didn't even have to destroy the issue to display them.

After being reminded of the existance of this publication, i went digging into the forgotten archives with much joy as i rediscoverd over a dozen posters that used to hang upon my wall. (And a treasure trove of cool stashed inside the pages)

So, here's some of what covered my walls back in the later days of the Groovy Age. (A few have been edited to remove identifying text.)



This was way back in 1971, before Wrightson's famous Frankenstein work.

Star Trek by Gray Morrow!
