Today happens to be National Superhero Day, it was actually started in 1995 by employees at Marvel Comics to honor both fictional and real-life heroes who inspire others. Sharing some of my collection of one of my favorite characters.

She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters, was created in 1980 by Stan Lee and artist John Buscema — and she holds the distinction of being the last Marvel character Stan Lee personally co-created during his classic era at Marvel.

Today I’m back in the random rabbit hole. Rohan Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley, and baby-daddy of Lauryn Hill qualifies this guy as certified rock royalty !! He played as a linebacker for the University of Miami Hurricanes in the early 1990s. The 1994 Bumble Bee Miami Hurricanes set is renowned for including early cards of several players who later achieved fame in various fields. Notably, the set features a card of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who played defensive tackle for the Hurricanes before becoming a wrestling and movie star. This association adds a layer of interest for collectors, as the set captures a unique moment in sports and entertainment history.

R.I.P to Pope Francis

Attached is a throwback to one of his predecessor John Paul II

In 1982, Marvel Comics released The Life of Pope John Paul II, marking its first full-length biography of a living religious leader. The 64-page, full-color comic chronicled Karol Wojtyła’s journey from his early life in Poland to his papal election and the 1981 assassination attempt . Written by Steven Grant and illustrated by John Tartaglione and Joe Sinnott, the comic was produced without advertisements and included an introduction by Cardinal José Saraiva Martins .  The idea for the comic originated during Pope John Paul II’s 1981 visit to Japan. Father Julian Różycki, a Polish missionary in Tokyo, shared Marvel’s earlier comic Francis: Brother of the Universe with the Pope’s entourage. Impressed by the portrayal, the Pope’s team collaborated with Gene Pelc, Marvel’s representative in Japan, to create a comic about the Pope’s life. This collaboration led to the production of The Life of Pope John Paul II, which incorporated the Pope’s recent experiences, including the assassination attempt .
