Fandom Decades in Review

[beccadg]

[Updated 1/4/21]
I sooo do not want to dwell on 2020. I think between the parody of "We Didn't Start the Fire" This Year Is a Dumpster Fire and the Match.com Satan/2020 commercial Satan's Perfect Match my feelings about 2020 are fully expressed. Instead, I thought I'd pick my favorite fandom things from the five decades I've been alive*, even if I don't remember much of the seventies. So here are my decades in review --

*The decade isn't necessarily when the material was created, just when I became fannish.
**I'm using "picture book" to cover children's picture books, comic books, and manga.
