All the the Vintage Game Board paintings I've been creating recently
have been 'Boy' games (Cowboys, Indians, Super Heroes). I decided it was
time to do a 'Girl' game. And what could be more Girly than Barbie, The
Famous Teenage Fashion Doll?
My favorite barbie accessory is the Cat-Eye sunglasses. This game
includes Boyfriend cards and Formal cards among others. And what
teenage girl could live without her Telephone?
This game has a copyright date of 1960 from Mattel. In this game you are
Barbie. You win if you are the first player to be crowned Queen of the Prom. But in order to win you must have a steady boyfriend, a prom dress and be elected president of a school club.
Superman's first appearance was in Action Comics #1. Superman became popular very quickly. By 1940 the amount of merchandise available increased dramatically, with
jigsaw puzzles, paper dolls, bubble gum and trading cards available, as
well as wooden or metal figures.
This 1940 game by Milton Bradley is the first and rarest of the early Superman board games, which
was also offered as a premium in the Superman Bubble Gum Club prize
folder. The box shows Superman stopping an
oncoming airplane.
