Let kick off the year with this beauty. It's the Mighty Marvel Calendar for 1975. What's significant about this gem is that this year of 2025 we get to enjoy it all over again as the days will repeat in total. Marvel and Abrams have reissued this lovely item for us all to share again. 1975 was an important year in my life, the year I graduated high school and stumbled off to college. There I met my beloved wife of forty years who blessed me with two terrific daughters. So, reliving this year will be a dream come true. As an old man now, looking back is what I do best.
My scheme is to use these nifty calendar pages to kick off each month. We'll see how that goes later today with the Amazing Spider-Man. Now in the past, the first day of the month always gave you guys a tip about what was coming in any given month. It won't work that way this year. More on that this weekend.
Here's a look at the original from those halcyon days.
This marvelous calendar will make that easy. Look for a post at the beginning of each month devoted to the calendar focus for that particular month. I'll start a little later today with the Amazing Spider-Man.
And as the year trundles along, I will celebrate the birthdays of some of my favorite artists and writers by putting the focus on some one of their key contributions to the field comic books. I might venture further afield from time to time as well to include some of my favorite writers from other formats. All that and the usual kind of stuff you've expected here at the Dojo.
As the calendar says -- Make Mine Marvel...One More Time.
Rip Off
Excellent stuff. The calendar sections were reprinted in UK weekly Marvel titles but I think this is the first time I have seen the posters, everyone is a belter. Look forward to your articles and more conic book and yoyr own personal memories of 1975
