| 1741 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Look at those images. LOL. Everything screams late 80's/early 90's! I especially love that Superman has a mullet, and that the marketing departments of about every corporation on earth would have even changed the skin color of the kids in the ads to hot pink or neon green if they thought it would sell more product. As for magazines I owned/read, I had a subscription to Master of the Universe Magazine for about a year. I WISH I still had those magazines now, dangit! Although the posters would be long gone, as I routinely ripped them out and hung them on my walls until no more could fit. The <a href="http://www.earlnorem.com/motugallerypage.html">Earl Norem images</a> were just amazing. I also owned some movie based mags that were just one shots, like the Batman (1989) movie magazine, Godzilla (1998), and others. Then I also bought MAD Magazine and Cracked now and then. Cracked (the online magazine) has become a vulgar shell of what the printed magazine was. It's sad to see. I had some Boy's Life and Highlights magazines also. The Highlights magazine was something that was given to us by our elementary school teachers, but I would peruse them and if I found something that looked interesting, I would read it. | Kids Magazines of the 90s | Dec 29, 2014 | |
| 1742 | Article | Mr Magic | I had plenty of Disney Adventures mags growing up. Fun little magazine. | Kids Magazines of the 90s | Dec 29, 2014 | |
| 1743 | Article | pikachulover | I remember when I was a kid I wanted an outfit just like the one the girl eating the Radical Raspberry oatmeal was wearing. I used to read Disney Adventures and Nickelodeon. Sometimes I would check out National Geographic World or American Girl magazine from the library. | Kids Magazines of the 90s | Dec 30, 2014 | |
| 1744 | Article | Mr Magic | I remember when the dentist's office had Highlights magazines. | Kids Magazines of the 90s | Dec 30, 2014 | |
| 1745 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @pikachulover and thecrow174 Disney Adventures is definitely worthy of its own article, I had quite a stack of them myself. @Vaporman87 Those MOTU paintings were always amazing to see. Kind of like Alex Ross did to comic book characters, it really brought Eternia to life. I bought Cracked religiously from 1990-1993, MAD always seemed too "smart" for me. I love the website for what it is (their podcast is pretty great too), but they don't even reference Sylvester P. Smythe or Spies and Sabs anywhere! A missed opportunity. | Kids Magazines of the 90s | Dec 30, 2014 | |
| 1746 | Article | Vaporman87 | Alex Ross did some amazing stuff with DC. Loved his paintings. Both Alex and Earl brought a seriousness and respect for the properties that really made you feel like the worlds and characters were truly special. | Kids Magazines of the 90s | Dec 30, 2014 | |
| 1747 | Article | MissM | These are amazing! I wish I still had my Disney Adventures magazine! Oh my goodness those were the best. I also love that Alien 3 ad. I loved that game and while it wasn't my favorite, I remember that whole marketing time for that movie with the game. Never read the Superman and Batman magazines, but I was more of a Marvel girl at that time. Great and fun article! | Kids Magazines of the 90s | Jan 01, 2015 | |
| 1748 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was reminded that I did also have (and still do) several Wizard Magazines. I enjoyed getting the exclusive trading cards and such that came with the mag. Also, I have several ToyFare mags (do they still make those?). | Kids Magazines of the 90s | Jan 01, 2015 | |
| 1753 | Article | Vaporman87 | Sweet! I can't say I watched American Gladiators religiously, but whenever I saw it on as I flipped through channels, I stopped to see the action. My favorite events were usually the jousting and assault segments, but I also like the even where the contestant had to swing across on ropes, trying to avoid the Gladiator. There were times that I wondered if the Gladiator was not quite giving it his/her all. Like, maybe they had to hold back a bit at a director/producer's request in order to make the show exciting. I don't know though. I haven't heard anything like that from any former Gladiators or folks on the show. Still, who knows. My favorite Gladiators were Blaze and Siren (because I thought they were attractive). Among the male Gladiators, I really didn't have a favorite. My favorite event was Assault. How I wished I could be a part of that one! Watching this show was never the same for me after watching the MST3K episode "The Final Sacrifice". In that episode (if you haven't watched it, you absolutely MUST!) Mike and the Bots constantly refer to Larry Csonka because the main character's dad looks exactly like him in a photo. Just a funny little tidbit there for you to chew on. Anybody who might suggest that the competition was never fierce on the show might want to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lul2VsRg26U">watch this clip.</a> | American Gladiators | Jan 02, 2015 | |
