This is an ad from 1978. I wonder if you can still order? It’s only been 36 years.

This is very cool. When I was a kid I joined F.O.O.M. – Friends Of Ol’ Marvel. Of course, I have nothing left of thee membership kit.
That’s the one! It also came with some advertisement sheets for some iron-on t-shirts (non-spidey related). Somewhere I’ve got the whole kit, but until today I’ve never seen another copy (online or otherwise!)
Do you see what I see in that Pin Up gallery?
Stegron, baby. Hellz to the yeah.
This is the only picture I could find of it.
Actually a guy named tellshiar posted some pictures on ebay of what was in the kit – I forgot about the “autographed” picture, the 4″x5″cards (featuring different covers including ASM #97 and… Stegron???) and the membership certificate…
Also, there was a one page sheet featuring exercises that kids should do to stay in shape. It featured drawings of Spidey demonstrating how to do the workout. Also, there was a membership card and a letter saying that I could expect a monthly newsletter that would be coming to me (it never came of course)
So for the record there were 3 posters included – the black and white one to color with crayons (which I think I did) and the two posters featured in the ad…
I sent away for this! I got the most amazing fan club kit! It was a yellow folder with original Romita artwork on the front. The inside panels told the history of Spidey up to the Death of Gwen (written by Stan Lee!) There was a poster to color of Spidey going up an elevator shaft (again Romita). I chose the 2 posters over the 2 t-shirts and they were awesome. had them on my wall as a kid. Anyway, I’ve been looking online for information on this membership kit and its worth and I can’t find another copy anywhere!
