![]() The parade was discussed in comics as early as the letter column in 1964's Detective Comics #327, which, interestingly enough, was the first "New Look" Batman issue. This was well before people dressing as superheroes was normal, so this was a really big deal to the comic book community in the late 1960s/early 1970s, so a lot of comic book writers really appreciated what was going on there. Since Fagan was into superhero comics, he managed to get the parade to take on a superhero bent. It was organized by the late Tom Fagan (he sadly passed away in 2008). Rutland, Vermont's annual Halloween parade began in 1959. ROY INTRODUCED THE MARVEL UNIVERSE TO THE RUTLAND HALLOWEEN PARADE Today is Roy Thomas' 82nd birthday, so I thought it would be fun to spotlight five (of the many) times that Roy guest-starred in a Marvel comic book story. ![]()
