Rondo Remembers: Army Vs. Dinosaurs
When I had just come back from the hospital after having my tonsils out, my dad brought me a handful of things to brighten my day. I was on the couch in our living room where we lived on Pine Street in Grove City, PA. It was a diet of ice cream (I was cool with that) as my throat was still sore. And, it was a diet of the things my dad had brought. Thin-size coloring books that featured cowboys, army, and dinosaurs. In addition, there was a comic book that depicted the U.S. Navy facing a fierce dinosaur. It was destroying a submarine. The comic was called STAR SPANGLED WAR STORIES.
I was five and my mom helped me read the comic book. My little brain loved this comic book. Now, in later years, I've collected quite a few issues of STAR SPANGLED WAR STORIES. It seems that they found success in pitting military against prehistoric monsters on forgotten islands in the Pacific. They had quite a run utilizing this theme and I still love reading them.
This changed my whole outlook on playing with my little green army men figures. I had accumulated perhaps a hundred of these little guys. Some in a charging stance with bayonet bared, some laying flat with gun extended, some with in a kneeling stance with a bazooka, and some in the action of throwing a grenade. Rather than just setting these guys up with nothing much to do, I thought dinosaurs! Yes, I had little plastic dinosaurs, while only maybe four inches tall, they towered over the little army men. So, I sent the forces out. It was an all-out battle, just like in the comic books, prehistoric beasts attacking the military.
It didn't stop there. I had these little plastic monsters that were manufactured by MPC. They were dull purple, black, dark green, and orange in color. A Frankenstein-Lurch type monster, a vampire with a face like the Phantom of the Opera, a mummy with a snake wrapped around its leg, a black grim reaper, a skeleton with a bat on its shoulder, and a witch (also with bat). Now, the army had to use its force against the supernatural!
These were the scenarios. The play-time of a young boy in the 1960s. There was no Internet, no video games, not many electronic toys. These were the days of metal Tonka trucks, Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, and little plastic figures.
Most of all, it was a time of imagination and wonder.
