I got Dynamite magazine all through grade school. In Jr. High couldn't get into Bananas - I still clung to Dynamite (I think the logo and the typeset played significant roles in my enthusiasm). Even though I was "too old" for it, I secretly subscribed to Dynamite well into high school. The day it would come in the mail I would savor each page, trying to make it last as long as possible. I had quite a collection of them - well over 60 or so. I gave them away when I was in college. Just recently, I'v started re-accumulating them at flea markets and on Ebay, which has been a great source for finding old issues. Now they come and I languish once again over every article. Every page turn brings a sigh of "I remember this!". What is life without our g ilty pleasures? Thanks so much for the great site.

Reading your article, you reminded me of the Sears Tough kin jeans,I used to have to wear,and the corderoy.I hated them.I wanted Levi's.I remember all those 70's shows. Actually they were all better than anything we have today. Even those saturday morning shows were better.I looked forward to them every year. R member The Far out space nuts?

Comments:
Dynamite was a big part of my life as a kid. It was an ugly childhood in a suburban hellhole, but somehow the clouds would always part when I made the walk up to the mailboxes and found my Dynamite issue. One time I was so ecstatic to recieve my issue, walked into the wrong apartment because I couldn't take my eyes out of the issue during the walk home!! I remember a few articles vividly. There was a special issue with tips on putting together a "50's Party" with lots of cut-out decorations. I never got to put the party together but I must have read the thing a thousand times while daydreaming about my big 50's party. I remember the articles about E.L.O., and the live action "Spider-Man" series on CBS (circa 1978). Count Morbida was always the big ave, though. When I moved out of my house in recent years, cleaning through the years and years of accumulated junk, I found a tattered Dynamite with a lot of pages missing. It's great to have this page to relive the memories, and I hope that all of you with leftover issues will start scanning some pages for us!!!

As a longtime DYNAMITE contributor, it was nice to come upon your web page . . . and to read all the comments (including those from my friends and editors Chip Lovitt and Linda Aber). To add to Chip's comments, many of you may not know that DYNAMITE's fir t editor was Jeanette Kahn, now editor-in-chief at DC Comics (and my boss at MAD Magazine); she was followed by Jane Stine, now running Parachute Press. Jane also happens to be married to former BANANAS editor Jovial Bob Stine, who Chip outed as the world famous scary-story author, R.L.Stine!

Hey 70's kids! This site brings back great memories of those wonderful times when all I had to worry about was if the Hardy Boys were going to be on TV tonight! I loved Dynamite and I know I had some of the issues you pictured. When I go to my parents hou e this weekend I might dig around in the basement and see if any survived. It seems to me that my favorite thing from Dynamite was the Dynamite Club. Does anyone else remember this? They had info. about starting your own club. My best friends and I were ery into starting clubs - but they never lasted! Some I remember are The Purple Sock Club (in honor of Donny Osmond!) and - get this- the Fifth Period Charlies' Angels Club! What fun! I hope you can print more of the articles from the magazine!

Comments:
As a child of the '70s, I grew up with Dynamite, Bananas, Mad, Cracked, Crazy, Pizzazz, The Electric Company, and Zoom, so discovering this site TOTALLY made my day! My favorite Dynamite memory is when, in 5th grade, I wrote to Mad publisher William M. G ines, asking if he had seen the issue of Dynamite with Alfred E. Neuman on the cover. He wrote a personal message back to me, saying that yes he did see the issue (among other things). Of course, in retrospect, I guess it stands to reason that he saw it as he was interviewed in the article! Oh, well. I was a dumb kid then. Now that I'm grown, it sure is a kick to see artists like Sam Viviano, B.K. Taylor, and Lou Brooks appear in other magazines. "That's that guy from Dynamite!" I'll usually exclaim Does anyone know for sure if Marvel artist Herb Trimpe drew some adventures of Nightglider & Dawnstar? It sure looked like his style. Does anyone know who drew their first adventure? Did anyone else catch the Dynamite reference in the "Pod People" ep sode of MST3K? Does anyone still believe that the Bee Gees are greater than the Beatles? I somehow managed to keep all of my old issues (and of all the other mags I mentioned before), so it was a real thrill finding this website, and knowing that others do the same. Right on!

I read Dynamite for about three years - fourth, fifth and part of sixth grade. The best part was the 3-D posters that they ran once in a while. I remember the "Dynamite Books" they sold, with reprints of the articles - "Practice Shelf-Hypnosis!"

Wow, what a gas and totally groovy to see this site. I was one of the magazine's editors from issue 4 on through 100 something and it's great to see that the readers enjoyed the magazine so much, because we enjoyed putting it out and hearing from those Dy amite Kids month after month. We had a lot of fun working on it and got to meet all kinds of stars of the screen, music, and more, and then write about them, abd even better get paid for it. We always had a sense that the kids who read Dynamite were cool ids who wanted something new different and Dynamite, as we used to say. Scholastic eventually decided it was too expensive to publish a four color magazine month after month, so it whittled the thing and the phenomenon away. But it was great while it lasted and it's great to know the fans remember all the features and faces. Several guest signers mentioned Bananas magazine. Did you know the editor was Jovial Bob Stine, now better known as RL Stine, the writer behind Goosebumps? Thanks again for the blast from the past! (Please note the corrected e-mail) Chip Lovitt

Comments:
I'm glad to find a site devoted to one of my favorite magazines from my childhood! I loved the super-hero origins, and just about everything else in the magazine, such as Bummers, Count Morbida's Monthly Puzzle Page, the posters (which wallpapered my roo ), etc. I've been feeling very nostalgic about the things of my childhood recently, and alot of my web browsing has been devoted to searching for related sites - I finally thought to look up Dynamite. Fortunately I kept all my issues and most of the rel ted items, and love looking back through them. I lost interest in the magazine as I entered high school, and let my subscription lapse in '78, although I picked up a few issues at garage sales in the 80s. I read the first two issues of Bananas, but that didn't spark my interest as Dynamite did.

A co-worker and I were recently talking about chocolates. Simultaneously, we said, "When I was a kid, I used to subscribe to a great magazine . . ." It seems as though we both remember reading an article about how to "read" a chocolate's design to determi e what's inside without taking a bite. (Probably to avoid those disgusting creams and jellies.) Neither one of us could remember the name of the mag, though. Next morning, out of nowhere, I thought, "Dynamite!" My co-worker confirmed my guess. We both rem mber being interested in the article--but that there was too much text for a schoolkid to read. Now that we WANT to read the text, we can't. Now THAT's a bummer . . .

Started having Dynamite flashbacks about two years ago when I wrote down J.J. Walker Cover of Dynamite during a bout of random writing. This exists doesn't it? Maybe even the first one? A friend said he saw one at a B&B he was staying at in Vermont. A yway, seeing the real thing (especially the Shaun and Chewie cover) sent me for a bit of a backward spiral. Amazing.

Hey! I remember getting this from Scholastic Books at school! The days that we got to order the books and the days that the books finally came in were magical ones indeed! I'm excited to find that I'm not the only one with fond memories of my 70's chil hood. Looking through the other comments, I notice that we're all basically about 30 - 35 years old now. Ugggghhhh - adulthood! Well, at least I'm in good company - all of you share my interest in days gone by. Your website is excellent, but MORE MORE !!! Add some more pages from the mag, ok?! I'll definitely be passing this URL around to my friends!

This is a great site. I still remember those Dynamite! covers. Amazing. Say, does anyone remember an even zanier, more clueless magazine aimed for older kids called "Bananas"? How about Scope, a clue-FULL, sometimes really creepy magazine?

Comments:
I still have an original with Fonzie on the cover which came with the greatest, coolest Fonzie poster in it. In 1988, in summer camp I lent a group of people that poster so they could copy it for a color war flag, it ripped and got ruined and I've been p ssed ever since, I tried to contact Dynamite people, but they said they could get the back issue, which I have, but not the poster, sucks.

The 70's just seem to get more magical, and Dynamite magazine IS the 70's. I am a professional screenwriter/producer in Los Angeles and am pleased to announce that I am currently developing a movie that will totally romanticize this period (think an "Amer can Grafitti" about the 70's instead of the early sixties!) Feel free to E-Mail me with questions and comments. My favorite Dynamite feature? A section which listed great practical jokes. Here's my favorite...Take a watermelon, cut out a small square on the bottom. Pour in grape juice. Replace square. Whatch your friend's eyes grow wide with amazement as you later ut it in half at a barbeque or picnic to reveal...the world's first PURPLE watermelon! Now...Hoiw did THAT happen?!? I have some great Dynamites in great condition that I want to sell. Also Rona Bareet's Hollywood and Gossip magazines and Archie comics from the 70's. All interested parties should E-Mail me.

This brings back so many memories. I can still remember walking in the classroom and seeing that brown Scholastic Books box. Just knowing that your latest issue of"Dynamite" was in there. I still have quite a few issues from 1974-1983. Is it still pub ished? Anyone selling back issues or know where to buy back issues at? I have two issues of the one with Charlie Brown on the cover. If anyone is interested I would be willing to trade or sell. Let me know. Jim C.

Dynamite Magazine was one of my first search subjects and I was really depressed that I could find nothing. I'm glad I've finally found a site dedicated to this fine magazine from the past. This was the magazine which helped get me interested in sports cards. If you remember they use to come in sheets inserted in the middle. Of course when your a kid you cut them up so you can put them in your collection. Oh Well I don't have the magazines anymore but I still have the cards with the frayed edges. Thanks for letting me relive a few memories.

I almost hurt myself from laughing when my sister e-mailed me this site! I had totally forgotten about this mag... Had every one of those covers you show, but the one I probably remember most vividly was the Brady Bunch cover (but who could forget Shaun assidy?). Loved that logo... The greatest day every month was when the Dynamite! appeared in the mailbox. And you know, I probably still have a couple dozen of these in my parents' attic. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the memory jog! What a iot!!!

Thank God there's a website for other old fans. As a kid, my goal was to collect every issue -- somehow I cajoled Scholastic out of a copy of each ish except for about four. After much pleading, I was even sent out-of-print issue #3. I saved them all (is this becoming too sad?) -- but I cut up a few for a pop culture collage, providing cathartic liberation from the past. But now I've found this site... The Dynamite Duo rocked, as did the cool reprints from DC and Marvel comix on how famous superheroes ca e to be. Magic Wanda tried her best (yea Linda), and I hated that dumb colt -- was it named Foxy? Count Morbida was purplish and made dumb puns. My favorite ish was probably that 50th spectacular. I think I still have some iron-on Dynamite patches, poster , and stickers pristinely tucked away. Thank God

I was a big fan of Dynamite and still am to this day. My sister used to get them in the late 70's and I had them in the early 80's. The mid to late 70's issues were the best though and I wish my grandmother did not throw them out. I only have one remai ing at home, which was about the Empire Strikes Back. I hold that issue very dear to my heart, especially since I love the movie so much. I hope to see more covers in the future, as well as more features on the material inside of this legendary children's magazine. Thank you for bringing back so many fond memories of being a kid in the 1970s.

- Great nostalgic page. Just thinking about the 70's brings back fantastic memories. I was reading all of the comments from all of the enthusiastic readers out there and I put on my favorite 70's album and lit up a fatty and began reminiscing. Anyone out there remember that great cartoon ... Little Annie Fannie ... or something ... no wait ... that was Playboy Magazine. I don't think that Scholastic provided that to school kids. Who knows? I was always stoned. Ah! the 70's! When mary jane was legal! I do remember the mag, the cartoons and the laughs that I shared with my best friend at the time. Dynamite! may be responsible for the development of my weird sense of humor. How many times it has come back to bite me in the ass. So many readers have stated that they feel old after finding this site. I couldn't help but feel young again! And all of you that regret losing, selling or throwing out all of your Dynamite! s, remember that you will discover the value of something when you find it on sale at an antique store!

This page was Dynamite to find!! It was really a bummer when 6th grade was over and no more Scholastic reading books to buy...I always wanted posters, but my mom wouldn't buy them, just stuff to read-thank goodness for Dynamite magazine. How much did it even cost?? It couldnt have been more than a dollar...lotta money when you dont get an allowance! Thanks for the trip down memory lane :)

I'd just like to say that I am a die hard fan of Johnny Depp, and I have a Dynamite magazine cover with him on the front, although I never found the inside. I would have loved to see what was said about him! I hope this site puts that issue on display.

I loved Dynamite. I miss the 70's, although, I was just an elemetary school kid then. I remember when my favorite pair of bell bottoms got too short for me and my Mom cut them off for shorts and I cried and cried. And of course, I loved Welcome Back, Kotter and Chico and the Man. Thanks for the website!

WOW!..... I don't just 'remember' Dynamite. I am still living it (sorta)... There was an issue where you can send in for a penpal and I sent away for it. That was the early 80's. My penpal and I still write to each other after all these years!!!! We've 'seen' each other go through Jr. High, High School, College, Jobs, Marriage, Kids... ect....

I remember I started reading Dynamite! in the 5th grade. I still have the issue that shows you how to decorate your house for a disco party. That issue even came with a cardboard record with a disco song on it! I have many memories of locking myself in my room on a Friday night with a huge bag of chips and a Pepsi and reading my new issue of Dynamite! Those were great times!

I love this magazine. I like it because it is the magazine that taught me how to read. I love dynamite. I just got the newest issue with BARNEY on the cover. I like this magazine more than I like HIGHLIGHTS except DYNAMITE doesn't have GOOFUS and GALANT in it. I think DYNAMITE should have something like GOOFUS and GALANT because GOOFUS is a bad boy, and GALANT is a good boy. GALANT wipes his shoes before he enters the house. GOOFUS tracks mud all over the new carpet. GALANT brushes his teeth before he goes to bed. GOOFUS doesn't brush his teeth, so he has rotten gums now. GALANT finishes his homework before he watches television. GOOFUS watches television all the time, so he is flunking out of 3rd grade.....anyway, I wish DYNAMITE would have something like GOOFUS and GALANT.......maybe it could be called SATAN and JESUS....that would be cool, because everyone knows SATAN is bad, and JESUS is good. if anyone knows the editor of DYNAMITE, please pass that suggestion on to them. thanks.

Dynamite! was a cool magazine. But I remember that before that magazine was available in our school book orders that another magazine called Smash was available. I specifically remember an issue featuring a Planet Of The Apes movie with one ape on the cover. I also remember an article on violence in sports with a picture of hockey players fighting on the ice. And I remember the magazine featured a regular comic story (more than just a comic strip but covering two or three pages) about a superhero and his sidekick (named something like Pedro) who'd travel to other planets. The superhero was clumsy or dumb or something and the sidekick would have to bail him out of trouble. I think the comic also featured puzzles, like word games, that you had to solve to help out the superhero. This magazine was available in the early '70s, probably no later than '72 or '73. Does anyone else know about this magazine? If so, please E-mail me with any memories you might have about it
one other magazine I would buy as a kid was called Pizzazz. This was around '78. It wasn't a school book order magazine, but one available publicly in stores. It was similar to Dynamite! and Smash, with games and pictures and comics and articles on current celebrities. The only one I specifically remember was one I didn't get to buy, for whatever reason, that featured the Peter Frampton-Bee Gees movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (a terrible movie, so maybe not buying the magazine was a good thing). If anyone else remembers Pizzazz magazine, please E-mail me with what you remember
I'm off to Ebay to buy some Dynamites

How vividly I remember those great school days, when our book orders would show up. I cannot remember the company that gave out little booklets of books to order, but Dynamite was usually on my list. I'll never forget that day when, coming in from a cold outdoor recess, I noticed that almost every desk had a Dynamite on it, the shipment having arrived while we were outside. One teacher questioned why it was so popular, and another teacher said, "Look who's on the cover!" Fonzie was that month's cover star! Perhaps I'll surf over to Ebay sometime and see about getting a few for old time's sake!

Back in the 70's, I was honored (and paid) to be IN Dynamite Magazine twice. They bought a story about my autograph collection. It was very exciting, not only to sell a story (at the age of 13?) but to have a photographer come to the house and take a large photo.
I was in the issue that featured the return of the Brady Bunch on the cover, and then was surprised to see a reprint of the story in the '25th' anniversary issue as well.
As some of you may know, Jane, the editor was married to the editor of Bananas Magazine...who subsequently has gone on to be R.L. Stine, spooky ghost story writer. However, to Jane to and Bob Stine... I thank you for my 15 minutes of fame.

I just got the 1978 Dynamite Year-Round Catalog of Hot Stuff from a friend who found it at a garage sale. It's in perfect condition, even has the door poster intact. It reminds me of Zoom--it's all activities and recipes, none of the celebrity stuff. Count Morbida pops up here and there. I'll probably put it on eBay one of these days... Cool site here, lots of memories. Was Scholastic School Services also responsible for a thing called "Pickles?" I seem to remember a set of books for younger readers about a town of animals, like Richard Scarry's books. I associate that and Dynamite with the occasional St. Pius X book fairs.

I NEED YOUR HELP!
I'm looking for a Dynamite from the late 70s. I don't remember who is on the cover (I know that's no help). But, in the "Bummer" cartoon section, there's a cartoon that says "Isn't it a bummer when...everyone knows your girlfriend's name?" and there's a "word bubble" with the name Maggie Peterson. My maiden name is Maggie Peterson! I remember seeing this as a kid and being AMAZED that MY name was in the magazine. For months, I wondered who liked me (you have to realize, I was about 9). It didn't occur to me that someone else in the world could have my name. Anyway, any help to find or buy this edition would be greatly appreciated!!! Maggie Peterson (White) Thanks!

Wow, seeing Dynamite takes me back to elementary school back in Texas... sitting in Mrs. Coleman's second-grade class and reading about my favorite TV stars.

Wow! How I did love reading this magazine as a child. I've perused this guestbook, and was sad to see no mention of Count Morbida. Do none of you remember Dynamite!'s famous vampire?! :)

I just have very fond memories of the magazine. I don't know if it was one year or more, but didn't they used to have contests where they gave you the clue each month and you had to figure out where the "treasure" was and if you won you got to go there? or something like that? Anyway, I live in CT, but I have box full of Dynamite magazines at my parent's house in Dallas. I kept them when I found out they were no longer going to be published. Figured they might be worth something some day???? Thanks for having this site - it's dynamite - what great memories I have...

This is great to see a page dedicated to Dynamite! I was kind of young when it came out, I remember first reading it in 1978-79, and I think it was nearing the end of its run, and I was only 10 then. My parents wouldn't let me buy many issues, so I only had around 2, but I bought a few at a flea market, a few years ago, I would be interested in buying more, if you don't charge too much, send me an e-mail if you are willing to part with some, I would mostly be interested in issues that feature Dynamite Duo stories, it has a certain charm you don't find much in comics anymore. I hope to see the site get bigger, keep up the good work.

Like everyone else I remember getting these magazines at school as a young child I can't believe that this is the only site I can find on the subject, since it was obviously a part (small but significant) of our childhood's. As a site though, it's pretty lousy. All you have are a few flimsy covers, and the way you make it out you don't even remeber much about it. You say you "must" have been an avid reader. Don't you know?? Judging from the huge response you've gotten, it's a shame there isn't more on this subject anywhere else. On the other hand, it's not always that good to go delving into the past. Those of us who were children in the 70' early 80's were bombarded with a pretty strange morase of images. they don't hold up well. Looking at the covers now, I remember thinking even back then as a young child that they looked old. It's depressing looking at these old things and knowing they were part of my childhood. I just turned 30 two weeks ago. The last Dynamite magazine I touched was about 18 years ago. SHEESH!!!!

I remerber that Magizine, I loved it. Just wish I had an issue. To show my children, what a real magizine was all about.. my favorite issue was the one with John travolta, on it. I had the biggest crush on him. Well to get the magizine, my parents wouldn't just give me the money, they told me that if you wants something bad enough, you have to work for it. So I would wash the car, mow the yard, and wash dishes, for my issues of Dynamite. Well I am sadden to say we moved and some how, my mother threw them out. Never been able to find my Dynamite issue of John Travolta....

Sigh... If only the younger generations could have a little understanding of what a cool time it was to grow up. I suppose we're now all Gen-Xers, but Dynamite was the epitome of the 70s experience for kids. Now everything is multi-media and videogames. Let's be thankful we got to experience that simpler time, something that may never return again.

I've been hoping someone would create a "Dynamite" page. I had well over 50 issues, but when I moved from Danbury, CT to Washington, DC I think I threw most of them away. Oh, how I wish I hadn't. I did keep my favorites, though. If I only had known how hard it would be to find those old issues (not as easy as finding MAD Magazine on eBay) I would have put them in storage somewhere. When I get my hands on the ones I actually did save I'll send some scans to you. I might even be able to gather a list of the first 50 magazine covers. Thanks for the memories. By the way, remember "Topp's Wacky Packages" trading cards from the same time period? Now, those I saved!!!

Great site! Dynamite was a big part of my childhood; I was a subscriber from late 1980 to late '83 and still have most of those issues. I lived in Mexico during that time and Dynamite was my only link to the American pop culture I was missing back home.
I wish there were a magazine like it for kids these days. I pity anybody who didn't have Dynamite in their life. ;)
IIRC, the magazine was started by Jenette Kahn, who's since moved on to such jobs as VP of DC Comics. I've seen the names of some of the other Dynamite staffers over the years, including Chip Lovitt, whose name appeared in that Boba Fett special magazine that was put out a couple of years ago. Can anybody confirm or correct this? And does anybody know when (or if) the magazine was cancelled? My little sister went through elementary school just a couple of years ago and says Dynamite wasn't on any of her Scholastic order forms.

Glad to see a site devoted to the magazine! One random "Dynamite" memory that comes to mind was trying to mine as many words as I could from the title of the Styx album, "Paradise Theater," in order to win the album. It's funny to think how often the prizes offered in their contests were eight-track tape players, though. I remember feeling livid when the 50th issue was never delivered to my house when I was a subscriber. :-) For some reason, that one never made it to my house...From "Peanuts" to the Bee Gees, "Dynamite" covered the pop culture spectrum for kids well...It's great to see it given its due.

Oh the memories.
With the new Star Wars movie in theatres, I have been quite nostalgic lately. I am in the process of revisiting the original trilogy before seeing the new film...again. Anyway, it all made me remember an issue of Dynamite that discussed Darth Vader and what happened to him that required the mask. Hopefully I can find that issue because it would be interesting to see how the information relates to episodes two and three.
Bummers were always a favorite as well. Thanks for some good memories.

i can't believe there's a website out here for this kids magazine. i started a collection of dynamite back in 1975 when my older cousin gave me a couple of her issues printed in 1974. for some reason after i became a regular subscriber in 1976, i felt compelled to try and collect as many back issues as i could through the mail order form provided on the last page of current issues. i still have approx. 35-40 of the first 50 issues printed and my collection eventually stopped early in the spring of 1981. as far as the great posters that were included are concerned, i remember wallpapering my parents garage with as many of them as i could find. alas, i ended up taking them down and throwing them out, but i still have my magazines which i scan thru every couple of years. it makes me laugh to see that some of the people they interviewed back then are still famous today. i thought the dynamite duo was pretty good but i wish they would have kept on with the marvel comics that were featured in about the first 30 issues.

Talk about something I hadn't thought about in 2 decades! The thing that strikes me looking at these now is that this magazine was probably the first job for a lot of Woodstock attendees or their younger brothers and sisters after they all graduated from college with their journalism degrees. I mean, just look at the titles of the features! I still have one thing I saved from one of the issues: a Beatles Magical Mystery Quiz. The cool thing about it was they used some fairly rare photos of the fabs circa 1968 to illustrate it _ again a clue as to the age and general grooviness of the editors of the magazine since there really was NO REASON to run anything of the sort in, say, 1978 or whenever it ran, what with Wings and all ;-)
I also remember the King Kong 3-D poster and I recognized all of the covers as issues I had at one time. Alas, they're looooonnnng gone.

Now I've seen everything!
I loved Dynamite! magazine, and I wish I still had some copies. I remeber having an issue highlighting King Kong, and another one with John Denver.
I remember a puzzle page featuring a Count Dracula-like character, and a comic that featured parodies of popular commercials. (I still laugh when I remember the one where the guy is comparing the close shave of a big guy's face by scraping a credit card on each side.)
I remember that there was a page that would recount the origin of a popular comic book character.
There were also occasionally pull-out posters, sometimes 3D with glasses. (I remember the King Kong one very well.)
Good luck with this site, I'll be checking back!
