Talk about some serious nostalgia. I doubt anyone but the older farts on the board will remember this.

Peter Pan was a company that produced childrens records decades ago. In the 70's, they produced "book-and-record" sets, consisting of a comic book featuring a DC or Marvel character or an adaptation of a TV show like Star Trek or The Six Million Dollar Man, plus a 7" 45 RPM record with narration for the comic book. The only one I had as a kid was a G.I Joe one, and I must have listened to it while reading the comic a few hundred times on a little fold-up record player I inherited from my older sister.

I found a youtube of the very same episode I had, accompanyied by stills from the comic with some minor added animation. Do any of my fellow badmovie farts remember these Peter Pan book-and-record sets?

Anyway, enjoy.

I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

Oh yeah: I had a "Planet of the Apes" series of those record/comic collections.

I just scanned this now:


I remember records like this, earlier though.  I used to collect records, so I'd often scan old records, used records, and buy crap like this, especially if sealed!

Yup another  old fart who remembers, although I do tone  down the flatulence.  :drink:   They were great and  I sill have some of these  buried  in my collection. Mom always  kept my stuff, thanks  Mom. :smile:

I remember these.  I'm sure I had a couple of them when I was a kid.
