I got this button in 1986 because it had a dragon on it. Later, I was told this was from the X-men comic series. I have been offered money for it, but I never gave it up. You can't tell, but the dragon is going "CoooOOOOOooool!"
I had to have some comic fans verify this was Lockheed.
I am not a comic book fan at all, really, which is odd in fandom. I don't hate or even dislike comic books, I always thought at the speed I read (I can read a 400 page novel in about 3.5 hours), comics were too expensive for the value they gave back. For example, the week I took these pictures, I went through two 200+ page graphic novels in about an hour. I got them as gifts, but if I paid the $19.95 cover price on them, I might have been disappointed. Just a quirk, I guess. Comics also tended to fall apart, and I am not the kind of guy who puts them air-tight vacuum bags because I am not that organized.
Thus, I often have no idea about any character anywhere in DC or Marvel comics if they haven't been made into a huge movie or something.
Amazing barbecue burger and collard greens from Big Mama's House of Soul in Pittsburgh, PA. (No longer in business.)
Let me say right now that none of these were drawn by me. These amazing drawings were from the FANDOMS UNITE board on iScribble. We got a TARDIS, Fluttershy, ZIM, some guy from Sonic, and something called a Rubik?
