Every weekend, I like to share a curated list of retro & nostalgia-themed articles, stories, and posts that I’ve come across in the last week. It gives you a chance to grab a hot cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa, and sit back and pass the time reading about the good old days. So with that in mind, here are a few things I wanted to share with you this week.

I’d also like to take a minute and tell you about a new project coming from our friend Tony Grate. Tony founded Retro-Daze several years ago, and is the producer behind the awesome RD’s Retro Detention series on YouTube. He has been working on a new, and very exciting project called Tommy and the Order of Cosmic Champions. At the website, there is a trailer you can watch for the novel coming this fall, and you can also get an early look at the action figure line that is coming to support the launch of the book. I’d like to urge you to stop by and check out all of the exciting things happening around this coming release. I’m also embedding the trailer for the whole project below for you to check out.
