Roo_Phillip Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 These are the other APR 1965 Marvels. See anything different? I've always been puzzled why these didn't have the MMMS box too. Didn't they want girls to join? Frisco Larson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to have been born in one of the MMMS cover months. THAT is totally AWESOME!!!! I toyed with (and haven't completely given up on) the idea of completing the set in very high grade. I have also purchased several of the Mexican publication copies that I've seen with the MMMS box on them!!!! I REALLY dig the little orange box!!!! VERY cool display you've got there!!!

I was puzzled to discover that the MMMS box was completely left off of ALL of the romance books!!!! Missed opportunity if ya ask me! Would've been SO cool if they had it too!!!

I've always been puzzled why these didn't have the MMMS box too. Didn't they want girls to join? All of the club swag showed only the super heroes. It wouldn't do for the boys to have, for example, the MMMS badge with Spidey, the Thing, the Torch and......Millie the Model on it. Marvel probably figured that any girls reading the superhero line would probably join the club but that any girls reading ONLY the books geared to girls would not join. They were probably OK with that because they knew that they were reaching the lion's share of their market anyway.

I haven't checked any lists, but I wonder if any girls were listed as members in the comics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time, I knew a girl on the next street that was heavily into comics - the superhero kind... OP says that he/she has the complete list of published MMMS members. Let's put that to the test I say! Edited August 24, 2020 by pemart1966 Frisco Larson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's put that to the test I say! I think someone was talking about publishing the list but I don't know if anything came of that. When I get a chance, I'll look thru some of my mags to see if I see any girls names. There must be some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked and you're right, MMMS memorabilia included super-heroines but none of the romance characters. Patsy, Hedy and Millie did however make it on to the official Marvel stationery though. creaturefan95 and pemart1966 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spidey pose is familiar, but I can't place it. Pretty fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
