How is it that you have a copy/record of your FOOM application? That is too cool for school, my mellifluous, magnificent Marvelite! (MMMS and other slightly-cultish acronyms for fictional fandom fandangles.)
That application coupon with my address was pasted onto the Hulk envelope at Marvel UK to send back to me by Alan McKenzie during his summer school, job a while before he officially worked there as an editor, and before he hired me 10 years later. It's a funny old world innit!
A very nicely designed magazine by Jim Steranko, a gold membership card, some stickers that didn’t stick, but were very cool. An amazing poster by Steranko, and I think a membership certificate… not sure about that… I think that’s it.
A good shed there! Thanks for the picture.

Not bad for 50p!
Great to see the Ditko panels in detail. I have just read the FOOM post. What exactly did you get for the 50p membership?

What a smashing trip back in time. Thanks Steve!
