Happy New Year! BITBA Preview Edition!



Happy New Year gang!   We hope 2017 is incredible, amazing, and even uncanny for you and your families!  Cheers to all! 

The years have flown by, but here we celebrate the nostalgia and happiness back in the bronze age while looking forward to a brighter future!

So after enjoying this selection of New Year's (and past years') covers... skip to the end of the post for some previews for the coming months on this site!










So now let's rip down the curtain and share a few things that you can expect in the new year at BITBA coming to you from Red and Marti (and any contributors that decide to join in).


  • In TV GUIDED expect to see some discussion around some classic television programs including but not limited to:  EMERGENCY!,   Land of the Lost  Bewitched, The Hardy Boys / Nancy Drew Mysteries, Kolchak: the Night Stalker and much much more!
  • In THIS & THAT, plan on more reviews and discussions with Red and Marti around series and comics such as Marvel Two-In-One, The Micronauts, E-Man, Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man, Batman, Atlas-Seaboard comics, What If, Mad Magazine, Avengers #160, and other Bronze Age classics. 
  • In PANEL DISCUSSIONS, we will have plenty of fun while also taking a close look at the art of Sal Buscema as well as the styles of many talented and varied inkers.
  • In FUNNY BOOKS, we will join in some mayhem with Dennis the Menace and others.
  • Redartz will take us for a ride on the RETRO METRO on at least a monthly basis to explore pop culture in the year of choice.
  • We've got plenty of things to RANK AND FILE this year, so be on the lookout for various rogues galleries, mystery books and shows, back-up Avengers, and monster movies!
  • OFF THE BOOKSHELF has much to browse through, including the old Marvel novels, Encyclopedia Brown and kid detectives and explorers, and other gems.
  • We've got more questions than you can shake a stick at during the TWO QUESTIONS posts throughout the year.
  • In BRAVE OR THE BOLD, expect some classic DC/Marvel/Charlton/Atlas-Seaboard match- ups for characters, villains, and even creators!
  • And between SHORT CUTS and CHEW THE FAT we've lined up a number of quick topics for you to sink your teeth into.
  • In February, get your rampaging under control for HULK WEEK!  That's right - for the first time ever, a whole seven days of posts around our favorite gamma irradiated creature!  Day in day out, we intend to smash the internet with Hulk conversations!
  • Over at THE QUARTER BIN, watch for the Inauguration Special $1 Challenge in late January - which was a spectacular suggestion from one of our frequent commenters from across the pond!  He supplied some fantastic covers to consider, so we will spotlight his contribution on the 20th.
  • And on that topic, we will need your help for topics during nearly weekly forays into FOLLOW THE LEADER.   We cannot do it alone here at BITBA! Coming up with new and fresh ideas every week can be challenging. so we hope you will  be prepared on most Tuesdays to take the reins and start the discussions rolling.   So be prepared for Tuesday mornings (at least most Tuesdays) for a rambunctious round table!   And remember, we will share guest posts as well if you have anything in mind (comic reviews, movie and book analysis,  stories, convention notes, collecting memories, etc).   Just contact us at backinthebronzeage@gmail.com to submit and contribute. And don't be concerned about telling us what you think.   Feel free to comment and make suggestions on other books you think we should review, TV Shows you would like to see explored, and other general topics.  Let us know what you look forward to most.  Also, follow us on Twitter @BackintheBronze if you like that type of thing.
  • And every Sunday, feel free to pipe in to offer suggestions for television programs, movies, books, comics, and websites that other bronze agers may enjoy!  Sunday is our time for recommendations and sharing!

So once again, Happy New Year!   Thanks for visiting our site!   It is exciting to see we are nearing 100,000 page views after only a couple of months, so please keep on visiting.  And don't be shy, we encourage all friendly comments and opinions.

Now wait, fellas--- somethin' funny's goin' on with your text up there, I think. Looks like dates or something aren't coming through? Or is that just my Flinstone-era laptop having trouble?

(Everything sounds great though, I must say!)
