The more things change…

One of things I most enjoyed about going through the old Starlog magazines I bought last year was reviewing the "time capsule" they offered. Along those lines comes this 23-year-old video highlighting a California comic convention. Some of the highlights?

1:52 – Stan Lee talking about rediscovering his old works and oh-so-humbly describing them as "sensational"

3:30 – Clips from some old Marvel animated shows, including one that shows Captain America's apparent bikini-clad sidekick

5:35 – A dealer noting that Wolverine would soon be getting his own series

5:42 – The television reporter noting that Marvel Comics #1 — which now costs more than $300,000 — being priced at $20,000

6:30 – The same reporter somewhat misfiring over his description of the X-Men as "a gang of mutants"

7:05 – Two anchors bantering about comics, with one man obviously exaggerating when he says he reads them "all the time"

The video is worth a watch and a chuckle if you've got a few minutes to spare.
