Marvel Tumbler Glasses from 1978

Glasses from Marvel released in 1978. I love these old 1970's tumblers and their iconic use of comic book poses.

I also think it is interesting to see which characters they chose to put on a glass. Spider-Woman as a choice and not Invisible Woman seems weird, but she did have a cartoon out at this time. Perhaps that is why they went with her instead.

By the way, the Spider-Woman tumbler is by far the hardest one to get in this series and can seriously set you back.

Specs: 6.25" tall Federal glass tumbler ©1978 Marvel Comics Group. Glasses are not marked with sponsor name and were probably distributed by a restaurant or store. Issued in a set of 5 including Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man and Spider-Woman. Full gloss and Rare.
