At the Kinko's where I am writing this , there is a display rack of a bunch of 2013 (So those Mayans had their heads , er , in the wrong place :-) ????????? hehehe) calender on " Vintage ____ " themes .
One is a " Vintage Marvel Comics " one .
I just looked and saw that all the 12 covers used are repro'd on the bacover smallsize , perhaps because previous years used the more prime/obvious ones the 60s covers used are mostly sort of bland , ASM #38 is the cover image .
There are other nostil-calenders , Vintage Sci-Fi , Vintage Pulp Romance...I've seen the same display in another bookstore here , obviously it must be widespread , presumably with regional variation for college football themes...here in Santa Cruz there is a Cal Golden Bears (UC Berkeley ) and USC Trojans calender , presumably the same slot would be filled by others elsewhere...Presumably it might be spread over more than one state in less-densly populated areas of the US ???
If it was literally regional I guess it would be UC Berkeley and...Stanford , I guess , in NorCal and USC...and UCLA ? San Diego ?...in the Southland ( I never heard of that phrase for Southern California til' I moved out here , incidentally . ) .
( I never knew about the whole attitude towards LA that San Francisco has , either...Or the phrase " U. P. " til' I lived in Green Bay , WI for several years starting in the late 80s , FTM , but , anyway...........)
