When we first moved to Cali, my folks would give me some cash to buy something at the store near the realtor's office. I bought a few army comics like Sgt Rock (surely my grandfather's military influence there). That was about it really, save for a few odd comics over the years. Like I got one issue of the Elric/Conan crossover issue. It was a two-parter and I never got the other part, but it was published in collective.

For Batman, Adam West. That was my formative years. That show shaped me as much as Star Trek and Gilligan's Island.
For Spiderman, it was all about Bakshi's cartoon. Those eye-popping colors. I'm probably over-romanticizing it.
There were a lot of cheesey superhero TV shows when we were growing up, much in the wake of the Six Million Dollar Man (which was my fav). But for the comic-based ones, it was all about Bill Bixby's Incredible Hulk and Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman.
This really needs a Wonder Woman gif now.
