DC Comics Drinkware

[Hyperion]

Actually, I'm not kidding here. I am a subject matter expert on cups, glasses and other assorted drinkware featuring DC Comics characters. I can help identify a piece and give information on year of manufacture and manufacturer, along with some other pieces of data. I just don't give estimates on value.

Were you on Comic Book Men with a set of comic-based 7-11 cups?

[Hyperion]

Nope. But I have a full set of those in pretty good shape, though I could stand to replace one or two.

That set is actually what started me on the path. Someone in another forum asked about a checklist of available glasses in the 1974 Pepsi Moon series and I went a little berserk with the Google-fu.

Wow! That's a pretty niche hobby. Have you ever met anyone else who is at all interested?

[Hyperion]

I run into people that have one small set or another, or who have items featuring their favorite character, but no one who goes at it the same way I do. It is fairly unique as far as I can tell.

That's cool. Being unique is a fine thing.

Wow, your knowledge is relevant to me! My Aunt had 3 glasses out of a set from the late seventies, early eighties, I think. She had Joker, Batgirl, and someone else that 8-year-old me didn't care about....maybe Green Arrow. These were full size clear drinking glasses, with the character on there in that old sort of oversaturated color palettes on a large colored circle behind them. Only the Joker glass is left. Arrow broke when I was still a kid. I inherited the other two and a loved one broke Batgirl. Since I couldn't strangle them, I just made Joker off limits. Any idea where these were from? Where I might get more?

What you've got there is a 1976 glass from the "Pepsi Moon" series made by Brockway. There are a number of these glasses and they come with a variation as halfway through the year National Periodicals officially became DC Comics. The first thing you'll want to do is take a look at the copywrite info on the side of the glass and determine which you've got- National or DC.

These are not hard to find on ebay or in flea markets usually, though the villains do generally command more money.

A full set includes-
Aquaman
Batgirl
Batman
Captain Marvel (SHAZAM!)
Flash
Green Arrow
Green Lantern
Joker
Penquin
Riddler
Robin
Supergirl
Superman
Wonder Woman
